Oct 19 06: waaaaah
I just turned down a ticket to go see the final game of the National League Championship Series with a friend. And why? Because I’m having dinner tonight with a whole bunch of my nearest and dearest, most of whom I haven’t seen in, like, a month. Since before a whole bunch of stuff happened. People I love. As you can plainly see, because I just turned down a ticket to go see the Mets fight their way into the Series. Maybe. I hope. [Pauses to adjust the Mets cap I wore to work today.]
Right. I’m being ridiculous. Give me a moment to stop hyperventilating, and I’ll be fine. For one thing, it’ll probably rain tonight, and for another these grapes are probably sour anyway.
ETA: Definitely made the right choice, and not just because the Mets lost. The meal was the occasion for two of my dearest friends in the world to announce that they’re expecting a baby in the spring. Lovely.
Commentary
You’d have been very much loved, even had you chosen to go to the game. You know that. It’s nice that you joined us, though. Of course the Mets fared a bit differently as a result of your not attending the game…
