Did You See Those Mountains....?




Thursday was a good day. Despite going to work at 6:30 to finish up my check-out procedures, getting said check-out hijacked (in my opinion) due to a perceived error on a cumulative record, and getting to finally leave, Drew and I went to our first Dodger game! They beat the Oakland A's 3-2 in a great ballgame.

The stadium was full of character with a gorgeous view of mountains and palm trees behind the scoreboard, and our Dodger dogs and peanuts were the perfect compliment. (Because really, is a baseball game a baseball game without seriously overpriced food that normally is just ok, but seems to be all you can think about when you're there)?

The really cool thing is that when we sat down, a man behind us tapped Drew on the shoulder and asked him what class he was. This, to an Aggie, can only mean one thing and one thing only.......that the person asking the question is ALSO an Aggie. The man, his wife, and son were on a baseball trip across the West and were both Aggie graduates. We had a good conversation with them before the game started and it was nice to talk to some Texas people!

Later, the men sitting next to our Aggie friends stole the show I'm afraid. He asked EVERYONE (and I do mean everyone who could be asked) if they'd seen "the mountains at twilight with all the purple...and....." It became a joke by the end of the game because he repeated every. single. thing. he said at least twice.

So......

Did you see those mountains at twilight?

  1. Okay, look, I'm posting a comment for you!

    I like the new layout / color scheme. I'm sure Drew was influential (that is, as influential as he has been in the overall blog project).
