Last night Anne and I went to the Giants game in San Francisco. Some of our IT group from work had been invited by our AT&T Mobility account team to the game in the AT&T luxury suite. The game itself stunk... 15 - 6 Colorado. The suite we were in was spectacular...up above the crowd, looking directly down the 1st base line. Felt like we were right on the field with the players. But, for me, the night was about so much more than just the game. It was the warm memories of Mom, her love of the game and how much fun she would have had if she were there, yelling at the umps for stupid calls. It was about existing friends, new friends, knitting and converting new knitters. I had a wonderful time and met some really neat people who are now on that list of friends. It always end up surprising me that there really can be wonderful moments in the middle of all the nasty stuff and the fact that that only makes them all the sweeter. Apparently I need that reminder that life does go on outside my own little world and I need to look a little bit further than my own backyard.
The weather was clear and warm (unheard of for SF) so we moved to the seats outside the suite and pulled out our knitting. Of course, there were a thousand questions and some offers to "take that off your hands when you're done" for the projects Anne and I were working on. All in all, it ended up hooking a couple of my work friends into finding their LYS and learning to knit. Maybe I should take extra sticks and strings next time.
And to you, dear Anne, thank you for the wonderful time last night, for the amazing friendship we have and your love and understanding! I can't express how glad I am that you came into my life...you are in my thoughts and prayers today.
