I almost forgot about today's post, yet I'm actually posting earlier in the day than I normally do. I went on a hike this morning, got home and looked at my email and remembered that it was Monday, the first day of the third week of P.J.'s 20 days of Chill Writing challenge.
I will be the first to admit, that I'm not a connoisseur of stadium type food. Mainly because I'm pretty cheap when it comes to buying food from stadiums or amusement parks. If I can work around it, I probably will. Stadiums are easier since you're usually only there for a limited amount of time, so you can eat beforehand, or eat afterwards at places outside of the stadium/arena that are much more affordable than the Jacked up prices you'll find inside.
Amusement parks, on the other hand is an entirely different story since you're there all day and unless you want to go outside the park and get your food elsewhere, you're going to have to bite the bullet and pay the price. For a family of four, the price of meals at an amusement park is almost like buying another entrance ticket to the park.
But as I sit here thinking about publishing this, it comes to mind that I did buy a cheeseburger at AT&T Stadium last summer when I was there for my future son-in-law's last game as a single man. It wasn't so much the burger as it was the garlic fries that came with it. My daughter and my future son-in-law both said that I needed to get some garlic fries. Usually, when someone raves about something, the food doesn't live up to expectations. These did. I don't care how many people I offended with my garlic breath. These fries were that good.
I can remember when I was younger. Summer officially started in middle of June and ended in the middle of September. Now, it's generally recognized as beginning Memorial Day weekend and ending Labor Day weekend. My own school district ended our year last Friday on June 1st. We go back sometime the first week in August, a month before Labor Day, but I'm not going to think about that right now.
Apologies for not writing in a couple of weeks. The last couple of weeks of school are always tough and busy and that's my excuse and I'm sticking with it. My wife also had surgery on her thumb to correct a trigger finger where the nerve gets inflamed and adheres to the side of the nerve sheath. It rendered her thumb immobile, but the surgery was a success and she now has movement in her thumb again. She's supposed to be getting her dressings off tomorrow so then we'll get to see what the surgeon did as far as cuts into her hand.
Go Kings! I hope tonight the Los Angeles Kings can close it out against the New Jersey Devils. Hockey is probably the most exciting sport to watch with end to end action. It's very similar to soccer on ice, but it's so much faster with action going on anytime the clock is moving. The first time I went to a Kings game was when they still wore the purple and gold at the old Inglewood Forum, so no one can accuse me of being a bandwagon fan. But I think tonight's the night when the Kings will hoist Lord Stanely's trophy.
Lastly, but certainly not least, my daughter started a blog entitled Various Vanities. She only has one post at the moment, but I'm sure she'll expand on it.
