Since I had been out of town on Kathy’s birthday, we planned to celebrate by going out the following Saturday, which ended up being the first night of the World Series. The Braves wore us out winning the Pennant from the Pirates, and now they have a chance to wear us out with a World Series.

We decided to go to a sports bar around the corner called Jocks & Jills. When we got there, though, the parking lot was packed, the place looked packed inside and out, and there was a line. We opted for Plan B, Taco Mac. We were able to get a booth with a good view of one of the TVs. Since we were going to be there for the entire evening, we tried to plan to make the appetizers, dinner, and beers last. Our waiter sat down and watched some of the game with us.

Unfortunately, the Braves did not know we were celebrating their #1 fan’s birthday, because they got beat up pretty bad. We actually left before the end of the game and finished watching it at home.

I was sick and getting sicker. Took enough pills to get me through the night, but paid for it the next day.
