Braves-Red Sox Game

Lawrence and I went up to Atlanta this past weekend for yet another Braves game. They were playing the Red Sox, so it was kind of a hard game to not go to. Claudia went to Mimi's house for the weekend...Mimi was ready to see her baby. I mean it had been a whole month since the last time she had seen Claudia, so she was having major withdrawals...lol! We left Auburn Saturday morning and drove to our friends' house, Marc & Fran Colley. Marc went to the game with us, Fran was not feeling well so she thought she would pass considering it was basically a 100 degrees outside. We met up with some of Marc's co-workers outside the stadium to tailgate. It was the first time Lawrence and I had ever tailgated before a baseball game...it is basically just like tailgating for football, just on a smaller scale. The game was good even though the Braves lost 1-0, and the most unhappy person known to man sat right next to us. This guy was quite interesting...he and his friend showed up at the bottom of the 4th inning, and you could tell he had had one to many drinks. During the 7th inning stretch after they played Take Me Out to the Ball Game, they started playing some other music. The guy started complaining about how bad the music choices were and what not. It wasn't the first thing he had complained about since sitting down next to us. Finally, I asked him if there was anything in his life that made him happy...he just kind of chuckled, and then I told him that it must really stink living a life where everything sucks. I think that made him a little mad because he than began to say things that weren't very nice and really didn't make a lot of sense. Needless to say it gave Lawrence, Marc, and I a laugh for later in the evening. After the game we headed to a little place called Clay's and ate some really good wings. We then went back to the Colley's house and played cards, which was a lot of fun because it was so late and we were all so tired and exhausted from being out in the sun all day. All in all the weekend was great...always is when you are with good friends accompanied by good food and good drinks!
