I left work about noon today. After filling my gas tank, I drove north to Oakland. I parked at Network Associates Coliseum and walked over to the "Will Call" window. Upon providing the proper identification, I was handed an envelope with a single ticket inside. I smoothly navigated security and handed my ticket to a smiling attendant. Sliding into Section 113, Row 21, Seat 3, I proceeded to watch the Oakland A's beat Minnesota in Game 2 of the American League Division Series.

Yes. It was a nice afternoon.
