This One's for You, Dad!

So I am a couple of weeks late in getting this online, but I kept getting sidetracked. A couple of weeks ago, I attended an LSU baseball game in order to fulfill a promise to Fasha (my dad). I have not participated in a lot of sporting events around campus. I have only made it to half of a football game and a few gymnastics meets prior to the baseball game, and my family would like for me to be a little more active in these things.

After convincing a friend of mine to come along with me so that I would not have to endure my first game alone, we went to see LSU play the Georgia Bulldogs. Our journey to Alex Box Stadium started off with a trip to Mike's cage to get us into the spirit (actually, we just went to see him because tigers are awesome). After watching Mike pace back and forth for a few minutes, apparently he was deep in thought, we headed to the game. We were unfortunate in the day we chose to go to a game because it had been raining all afternoon, and despite the warm weather we had all week, the rain brought much cooler temperatures with it. I pretty much froze while I was sitting on the bleachers. Oh well.
Due to the cold, me and my friend did not stay for the whole game, which was not going so good anyway. I will admit that I did not pay very much attention to the game while I was there, but I did have a good time talking with my friend. Then again, I always have a great time when I am around this person. The good news is that the Tigers seemed to be doing better when we left because there was a lot of cheering while we were walking away from the stadium. I don't know if I will make it back to a baseball game, but I suppose I will try to attend more games of some kind. Maybe I will tag along with my friend from the baseball game to a football game in order to give the sport a second chance. I think I just went with the wrong people last time, which led to me walking away at half-time (not before watching the band, though).

We shall see what unfolds next semester.

Peace

Thats good! Baby steps here!! But really you must go back when its warm. Cold and baseball is never a good combo. But I'm glad you went and you did fulfill your promise.
