i worked from home today and left our house in redondo beach at 4p to make it to game 1 of the dodgers/phillies national league championship series. i had to swing by downtown on my way to the stadium to pick mike up from work and new the odds were slim that we'd be there at 5p for the first pitch.
still, i had no idea what was in store for us. we didn't walk into the game until the middle of the 4th inning at 730p. no exaggeration - it took 3 1/2 hours to get into the parking lot!
i was crabby, frustrated, guilty (for wasting two of my dad's playoff tickets) and annoyed yet the minute i sat in that hard yellow seat, my irritation melted away. the dodgers lost. we had to hike up a dirt hill to get back to the car (which was parked in a remote lot behind the "think blue" sign) and i really should've been working that night but there's no place like dodger stadium. standing between my husband and my mom and dad singing "take me out to the ballgame" at the top of my lungs is really one of my favorite experiences in the world and i'm so blessed that i get to do it really regularly!
