:::angels and raiders

albert came over this afternoon to watch the raiders game. we kept switching back and forth between that game, espn, and the angels one, on espn2. he was telling me about the recent games he's been to at edison field and how he's gonna try to get playoff tickets, which go on sale this coming saturday.


listening to him go on about his interest in the angels reminded me of the times i'd take him and isadora to the games when they were little. i remember the opening days we'd cheer at, the exciting night games, the nachos, the hot dogs, and the getting up for the traditional seventh-inning stretch. and now as i think about us talking about our anaheim angels this afternoon, i see the legacy i've imparted on my adult son.


and what about the raiders game? they won of course! but that's not the whole of it. nope. albert and i made a date to drive up to oakland for the raiders/chargers confrontation next month. yup, i bought the tickets online for oct 20th. it should be an exciting game yes, but the experience albert and will share should be greater.
