Best seats in the house

Last Thursday I had the greatest stroke of luck: my friend Paul had extra tickets to the Washington Nationals baseball game and invited me to use one! But these were not just any tickets, they were those two rows of cushy seats DIRECTLY behind home plate. The best seats in the house. I can't believe we were that close to the action. And not only that, but the whole thing was catered, so we got free ballpark food and even a waitress for our drinks. It was so fun, they had us all pose and wave for the jumbotron, and at one point when I was pointing out player Ryan Zimmerman to Maureen, he looked over and saw us talking about him and reacted! Yes, we were so close that the PLAYERS could see US! As Maureen's dad said, that is how the other half lives. Of secondary importance, the Nats won the game.
