"Take me out," my friend

I've said this before...
This is the kind of place the Lakes Region is.
You walk into a grocery store, looking for a job. You have to wait so you notice this box by the Bud beer display. "Win free tickets to see the Boston Red Sox!" (That's always worth filling out an entry form for.)
Then, as they say in the commercials, you notice something... "Wait! There's more!"
Turns out the tickets are for a game in late May when the Sox are playing the Detroit Tigers.
And you think about your friend, an ex-Detroiter who's already taken you to two Sox games.
So, you enter with the specific prayer that you will win to take him along.
A week later, you're in someone's office having a serious, important conversation when your cell phone rings - TWICE!
"I'd better take this," you say, "No one ever calls me twice."
And, as you can guess, you've won the tickets.
So, you get to bless your friend as he blessed you.
And it's a perfect scenario.
You drive down and, as you're thinking about grabbing a bite somewhere, you suddenly remember when you see the sign on 93 announcing an exit for "Stoneham".
Stoneham, Mass. The location of Anthony's. Reportedly one of the best sub joints in America.
So, you have the time and you seek it out. And there it is, sitting in an old brick building near the center of town.
What a lovely site.
What nice people.
What good subs - an italian and an meatball.
You started the drive under cloudy skies but by the time you're at Fenway - about an hour before the game starts - you're wandering around, taking pictures with your not-so-great cell phone camera, enjoying the warm night air. (Is this really May in New England?)
And he's talking to anyone he can spot with any kind of Detroit Tiger's icon on.
The TIgers have their ace pitching. Last year, Justin Verlander won both the Cy Young award and the Most Valuable Player award last year. (Do you know how hard that is? Some sportswriters won't EVER vote for a pitcher as MVP no matter what, just on the mere principle that no one who doesn't play everyday can possibly be "most valuable".)
Justin's good - but the Sox get to him.
A big double early in the game clears the previously-filled bases.
There's good pitching, some excellent defense, a Big Papi homerun...
What more can you want?
Yes, what more can you want?
Simply to drive home with your friend in the cool night air, savoring the trip - a genuine blessing.
Things like that just seem to happen here.
