I had a great time at the game. I got some great pics. Here are the first few. I may go to the
game tomorrow and for sure on Thursday. I will put together a nice little picture compilation
sometime on Wednesday and during the week.

Well the game starts in just a few hours and I have to admit I tossed and turned all night. I have been waiting for this day for a
very long time.
Yesterday I bought a little transistor (are they still called that?) radio so I could listen to the game at The Stadium. I have
listened to the Yankee radio broadcasts for years and to listen while actually at The Stadium is part of this grand fantasy of
mine. Well I got home about 10 last night and the dang thing didn't work. You know radios are cheap..most were $5 or $6.
But nooo. I had to buy the $16 dollar portable radio just to be sure I got a good one. Serves me right.
When I finally admitted that it was the radio not working and not the batteries or my technological difficulty (took a surprisingly
long time) I went on a search. We have a lot of "stuff" in the apartment and I just knew there had to be another radio here.
After an hour of digging through boxes in the wee hours of the morning I found one! An old CD Walkman with a radio.
Shaking with excitement I loaded the batteries into the devise. (Reminded me of that kid in the Christmas Story loading the
BB's into his new gun). Anyway, THAT didn't work either. Needless to say I was a bit frustrated.
So I went to bed trying to convince myself that I really didn't want to listen to the radio at the game. I told myself that It would
be more authentic to go sans radio so I could take in all the noise and excitement of the live event. Blah, blah blah... The first
thing this morning I went back to digging through the boxes.
Sure enough I found a VERY old Cassette Walkman (WOW!) with a working radio!!! Horayyy!
So I have my radio, binoculars, camera, ticket and sunglasses. I even got directions to the stadium and found out it is a 30
minute walk! Very close (30 minute walk in NYC is nothing). So I am good to go. I may post after the game or wait until
tomorrow as I am tentatively scheduled to celebrate the Yankee victory and a certain watering hole (of course the theme can
be easily switch to commiserating a loss).
Opening Day 2006 at Yankee Stadium and I'll be there. Fantastic!
