Play Ball!
Jul. 2nd, 2023 12:18 amBelovedest's family (Pops, Mom, Eldest) have arrived! The grown-ups came around lunchtime. Eldest showed up just before ballpark time, bearing the tickets.
You see, there were about three years of pandemic shutdown, and now we've got still pandemic, but a lot of other things going on. Belovedest had said approximately, "Well, I'd love to take in a ball game, but as things are I don't think I'd be comfortable doing so except in a private box." And Eldest took that seriously, looked into things, and since it was a milestone birthday and a lot of birthday monies had not been spent... So there was a box. Not on the birthday day, but close enough. With 15 tickets left after the immediate family. (Housemates both had conflicting plans, as Steph is heading to California and Alex had the headache.) Belovedest invited people; between everything and the short notice, the ones who came were two work friends and their families. Coincidentally both of the ones who had hosted them during their breakup with The Evil Ex.
