189 – Secret Date Night

We got hooked up on our seats! Very cool to watch the interactions at home plate through the game from this level.

For weeks, there has been a mysterious “Secret Date Night” entry on the shared calendar for my wife and I. I didn’t put it there. When the night finally arrived, I was surprised that the destination was still a mystery. See, if you know Katie, you know she’s not so good at keeping secrets. Especially when she’s excited about them. But she pulled this one off, and surprised me with tickets to a Dragons game, including vouchers for free food and hats!

It’s funny, that even though I really dislike baseball as a sport, going to a Dragons game is just good fun. The crowds are great and friendly, the facility is nice, there’s decent beer and food to be found there, and they even win a game now and again! But the best part of this evening was that my wife, who’s seen the sort of stress I’ve been under lately, took it on herself to make sure that, for just one evening, I’d slow down and relax. Thanks, sweetheart. You can take me out to the ballgame any time!
