Play Ball.

While our dear, sweet friend Katie was here, she wanted to see a ball game. Max was very excited about this, and we traveled across the bay to see the Oakland A's play. We got amazing seats, and I felt a little guilty as I am not a baseball fan by any stretch of the imagination. It was awesome to sit that close, but I really had very little understanding of the game or what was going on. Meredith and James came along too, as James is a big baseball fan. Meredith and I sat together, in order to allow the 'real' fans the opportunity to sit and talk about the game. They drank beer and ate pizza and nachos. Meredith brought her knitting, and I brought a book. I caught people giving us confused or angry looks, as we periodically looked up from what we were doing to see how the game was going. Towards the end of the game, I picked up my purse to get something, and had no idea it had been sitting in gum, which then spread across my dress. It was nasty! A sportsman I am not. (note the sexy baseball hat Max bought me to avoid my passing out from heat exhaustion)
