Regarding yesterday’s play, Mrs. Christie? Another CH person, Sandy was there, and I asked her how it came out. She said she didn’t know; she had left at intermission too. Then tonight I asked Patty if she’d seen it and she said, “Yes, hated it.” Patty is not the type to leave a play early, but she couldn’t recall how it ended either. “Just more of the same.” So Mrs. Christie is 0-3. Well, 1-4 because Gretta the Curator liked it.
I took the standard walk, ending at CVS to pick up a couple of prescriptions. For some reason PAMF refilled one of my prescriptions, but I wasn’t short of that one, so now I have two full bottles of it.
Then down to FOPAL to process 5 boxes of computer books. Back for an early supper and out at 6:15 for the SWBB Open Practice and Season Ticket Holder Reception. Patty came along also. The team looks like it should be strong, three talented freshers, Hannah Jump back for a 5th year, plus Cameron Brink. Tara was in great form making jokes and talking about how excited she was and they all were. She said they were working on having the best year ever; that was their thing, every day setting out to make today another day in the best year ever.
Me, I’m going to savor the last year of the PAC-12. I was entering the schedule for the upcoming season in my calendar, entering the away games, Oregon, OSU, Washington and Washington State — and remembering trips to watch Stanford play at those arenas. And that is all over, decades of tradition and memories just discarded in the chase for TV money. I felt like crying.
