Sep. 14th, 2021 09:52 amMy local professional society, to which I am forced to belong and pay dues every year, held an in-person event yesterday. They rented one of the suites for a Giants game. I still had to pay for tickets, but it was a deeply discounted rate. So, what the heck - I signed up. Might as well get some use out of the group.
This was billed as a networking event and each person could only bring one guest/client. I signed up the wife under her graphic design firm name. It wasn't even lying: I am in fact responsible for her investments. I had to chat a bit with people who insisted on networking, but mostly we watched the game as that's what we were there for. The suite was a recent renovation of the worst views available on that level, in left field right by the foul pole. You can't see all of the field from there. But hey, we sat outside and got to watch the game.
The Giants trounced the Padres and clinched the playoffs, becoming the first team this year to do so. I am very tired today but I am glad we were there to see it.
