anyone who knows me knows that my dad is possibly the biggest dodger fan alive. it started with his childhood in brooklyn and has only grown over the years. i have been going to games since i was in my mom's belly (or so i've been told) and as a family, we've shared some incredible memories and witnessed some awesome moments - not the least of which was kirk gibson's homerun in the '88 world series - yes, we stayed to the bitter end.
thank god.
so, you can imagine my sadness when i learned that i had conflicts for both of the two nlds playoff games guaranteed to take place at home this year! mike, on the other hand, was able to sneak out of work early and go to the game today with my parents. as jealous as i was (sitting in my office, typing away at the computer), i was also so excited to see that although he's a cubs fan at heart, he's embraced the family tradition and our agreement to root for each other's teams as long as they're not playing each other.
i also said a little prayer of thanks that i was blessed to marry a man who gets along with my family so well - even better than i do sometimes!
