Chris Tomlin singing Enough

September 12th, 2007

Yeah, I know it's been a while.....but back on Sept 12th, my boss Jerry took Aldo and I to the Dodgers vs. the Padres!!! Jerry is my boss and Aldo is my counterpart at work, both are my friends. Jerry called the both of us up and asked if we wanted to go to the game because he had some extra tickets! I was pretty excited due to the fact that it was near the end of the season and there was a tight race to the top of their division. The Padres were a team that they needed to beat and it was going to be a good game. Aldo is a huge Dodger fan and Jerry is a huge Angel fan, but I grew up watching both and came to the conclusion years back that I didn't need to pick.....so I like the Dodgers and the Angels......go ahead....hate me......whatever. HA!

Here is the cool part, Jerry had these amazing tickets, I have never been that close to the field before. But the cool part was that we got to go to some restaurant that I never knew existed right in Dodger stadium. As the three of us walked in I knew immediately that I was a little under dressed to say the least. There was this giant bar, guys in suits, writers from the press, sport agents, the girls dressed to impress. Jerry told us that he would be right back and he would get us a table. As Aldo and I were standing there we are staring at this giant buffet of food..........good food, not food from a 99cent menu. I had my access pass sticking out of my shirt pocket just to prove to people walking by me that I belonged their.....I was trying to stand there and pretend to be cool....I could hear Jenny now........"you're such a dork." Anyway, we got the table, got the buffet, got this amazing food, and the boss got the bill.....you don't want to know how much it cost......whoa. The orange chicken was incredible, I rolled some in a napkin and tried to sneak some out of there........ i got caught......I'm kidding.

The dinner was great, we went to our seats and the game had already started, we sat next to some cool people, enjoyed the rest of the game. My claim to fame is Nomar Garciaparra, I went to high school with him, St John Bosco '91, man I'm old.. Anyway, I always cheer for him whichever team he happens to be on. They won the game and they had a good shot of getting to the post season. Unfortunately, they didn't. Regardless, we had a great night and Jerry really knows how to show his "dates" a great time.....Aldo and I have a cool boss but Jenny knows I never kiss on the first date.
