At the game

Every year I take Peter to a Charlotte Bobcats game over Christmas break. Both last year and this year, we invited his friend Blake to come along. Last year Blake, Peter and I took the train from Burlington to Charlotte, but this year we drove down with Grace, and stayed at my friend Cindi's house (who I've now known for 22 years, more than HALF my life....).

Grace was going to go to the game with us this year, but at the last minute found the lure of time alone with Griffin and Marshall (who usually gravitate towards Peter) and the Cook's Wii to be too much, so she stayed with the Cooks while Peter and Blake and I went to the game.

Sadly, the Bobcats lost, but as they've lost all three games we've been to, we're kinda used to it. Either that or we're really bad luck, and eventually they'll stop selling me tickets. We still had fun, though; the boys got to see the big Rufus Blimp, which is always fun.

The promotion was a Bobcats knit cap; it was sponsered by Bud Light, so technically you could only get one if you were over 21. They gave me four hats, though, so Peter and Black got a chance to mug for the camera with their new hats...
