thoughts going through my head at a baseball game

Last night... Target Field, downtown Minneapolis.  The Minnesota Twins playing the Boston Red Sox.

--  "There sure a lot of Red Sox fans in Minnesota!"

--  "Considering that this bratwurst was seven bucks, it should be a lot better than this."

--  "Is James going to get that family history assignment done by Wednesday?"

--  "It's only the 4th inning??"

--  "How do people have season tickets for baseball?  I mean, there are something like eighty home games every season!  And a lot of these season-ticket holders have a long drive to get here -- I just had to walk seven blocks!"

--  "Baseball sure is a funny sport.  I mean, here we sit -- 30,000 people or so -- watching a little ball being thrown and batted around.  Plus it's being watched on TV!"

--  "I hardly know any of these players anymore.  There was a time when I was a kid and I knew every player on every team.  Of course, there were only 16 teams then instead of 30 and players didn't change teams every couple years."

--  "I wonder what Jerry is doing tonight."

--  "Minneapolis has a beautiful skyline. And these are great seats."

--  "I should spend some time in Boston."

--  "It's so hard to sit still and relax.  I think I'm not recovered from busy season yet."

--  "How is it that I have some people in my life who will vote for Mitt Romney?"

--  "It's only the 7th inning?  What if this game goes into extra innings?"
