Just My Luck

Here is a post from my birthday :) March 15, 2007.  It is a phrase that has bothered me since then... Just my luck... with my luck... Luck really has nothing to do with it.  Sometimes people just hold onto the bad a little more tightly than they do the good.  Well, I did run into a stretch recently that is on the other end of the spectrum.

In December of last year, I took Staci to Nashville for her birthday and to watch the Colts vs. the Titans.  Staci started talking to some Colts fans from Logansport.  She talked to them most of the walk to the stadium, about 15 minutes.  They asked us where we were sitting, and we pointed to the highest corner of the stadium, because I got the cheapest tickets available.  They asked us if we would like to sit next to them, in the lower bowl, mid field.

3 weeks later we won FREE tickets to the Colts and Titans again!  This time the seats were not as good, but the price was right.  Oh, and I got to walk out on the field during warm ups and was introduced on the big screen.









A few weeks into the new year, we got tickets to the Pacers game.  Our seats were not together and we were sitting outside of a section trying to figure out where to sit.  A friend from the past whom I hadn't seen on a regular basis for 15 years walked up.  He happened to have 2 tickets to a VIP section with a buffet and open bar. (Mountain Dew and Water for us!)

Staci and I couldn't help but laugh at the Pacer game, and she quipped, "this is just our luck."

She always cheats.

I need to blog more often.

I'm working on a post called "just my luck" which will go into an unusual series of events regarding sporting events that have taken place in the last year.  Also, an update on some year long goals I have set for myself including running 1000 miles (that's 1609 kilometers for those of you on the metric system).  As well as my goal to read on book a month.
