An evening with the Cats

Tonight I went to see the Ft. Worth Cats beat the Coastal Bend Aviators 11-2. 

It was strangely wonderful for a number or reasons:

• Kinkaids has an on-site hamburger stand at the ballpark, so I enjoyed a great half-pound burger & fries.
• I sat in my assigned seat.  I rarely do that.  I typically find a better seat in the shade or closer to the play.  But the one I chose turned out to be a good one for a change.
• I purchased a program & kept score.  I haven't done anything like that in years & it helped keep me focused and interested throughout the game.  It felt like I was a kid again.
• The between-inning festivities were a lot of fun.  Instead of having those corny races or contests, they had celebrity-type mascots that did a great job of entertaining us.
• I stayed until the very last pitch-- another rarity.  I usually leave early to beat the traffic.
• The Cats, by winning this game, clinched the division title. No fireworks, but there was a lot of applause and high fives at the end of the game.
• I enjoyed a cool breezy evening & a cold one.  Sue me.  It was my birthday. ;-)

Suffice it to say, I had a fun, relaxing night.  I couldn't have asked for a more pleasant evening.
