Something old, something new
Sep. 6th, 2004 07:09 amJust sitting here trying to chill as the dogs do their morning re-enactment of Crips vs. Bloods. Feeders of pets get no Days off from their Labors, yknow.
I continued a tradition last night. Emily and I have made it to the final Buffalo Bisons night game of the season, which usually falls on the Saturday or Sunday night of Labor Day weekend, virtually every year since 1998 (it was a shoulda-been-rained-out suck night last year). Through the design or accident of the scheduler, every one of those games was against our former home town team, the Rochester Red Wings. This year, the final Bison night game fell on the other end of the Thruway, so we made the trip to Frontier Field in Rachacha.
It occurred to me we'd sorta done this before: I won last-minute tickets to the last regular season game played at the Wings' crumbly old Norton Street ballyard, 8 years ago, and even wrote about it (and, amazingly, saved the file). Thought it would be fun to compare those memories, the new ones being recorded before I retrieve the file containing the old ones:
( Now )
( Then- August 30, 1996, if you're keeping score )
