CHARGER INSANITY

The first regular Charger game of the season is tomorrow. For the first time I do not have to feel bad about not going to the game. Three years ago I used to grudgingly go to the games. Let's face it, it is hard to knit at football games. People jump up and down, they fight, they scream obscenities, they drink, beer gets sloshed, people get sloshed. Just my kind of place. Add to that the fact that Henry decided that to get a good parking place one had to be there at 8:30 am for a 1 pm kickoff. I said...enough.

Then we went through a year of me feeling bad and trying to help Henry sell the tickets: side of the road, stub hub, any person standing.... I said DONE!!

This year he has sold my ticket to his "football girlfriend". I said PERFECT.

Now we get to the insanity part of the program. Henry does not want to fight the crowds at the game for parking. Let me lay out the program for you....

• Henry drives to his "favorite" parking space on Saturday (not a misspell). This allegedly makes his car happy!
• He takes the trolly from his fave parking space to Fashion Valley Mall, where he meets me at Bloomingdale's.
• He then rides home with me.
• Sunday, the day of the game his friend Ken picks him up at 8:30 and they head down to Ken's Quizno's.
• Henry takes the trolley from Hazard Center to the game.
• From the game he takes his car home.

Remember he does all of this to avoid being in 15 minutes of traffic on Sunday to find a parking space. They're coming to take him away.....
