20150314 - Fund Raising and MLS

20150314 - UP before the sun to head back out to the campout to get D.  Brought D home and then headed to the high school for 'Tag Day', where every house in Gahanna is hit up by the student athletes for $...  Well this year I get to be a driver.  Got there, got my route, D got 5 friends and we loaded up in our big white car and hit the neighborhood.  The boys are goofy and they had fun doing it.  It didn't take nearly as long as I expected, and with some time to spare we assaulted the Mallons, the Towlers and the Pettits and Doc with unrelenting doorbell ringing until they succumb to the pressure and provided cash :-)  We stopped by the house to G could see the big boys and they invaded our house and ate all our cookies like locust in the plagues...  Delivered the boys back to the school and then ran a couple of errands then home, took D back to the campout.  Checked inwith J, he's a bit homesick. :-(

Home and got cleaned up.  Back to the park with L&G.  Tried to play catch with G, he melted down...  So we came home.  I tried to get some things done at the desk and the time passes so fast.  Got new iphone set up with minor glitches yet to resolve...  Doc over getting the black car working.  G&I ran an errand to pick up his ipod and D's iPhone.  All repaired and special tempered glass on it, I guess we will give this a try...
Home and Dropped off G and headed to the camp site.  I picked up D&J and they told me stories of the fun things that had happened during the day.  We got home everyone changed and we headed downtown to the Crew stadium.  We received free tickets through my work where the Crew are trying to get us to buy season tickets.  Our instructions were to get in contact with 'NickA' when we got to the stadium so we talk a bit of business.  So being in the stadium and surrounded by thousands of people an not having any idea where section 202 was I reached out to the first official looking person I saw that may be able to help.  He gave us directions and then just to see if that walkie-talkie worked on his hip  asked him if he knew NickA.  He said I am NickA.  WHAT ARE THE CHANCES THAT OUT OF THE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE IN THE STADIUM I ASK THE GUY I AM SUPPOSED TO CONTACT FOR DIRECTION????? (15,336 to 1).  We got to our seats and met up with some folks I work with and endured the cold and tried to understand what was going on.  It was a great atmosphere and a good time.  They actually scored twice, when D&J went to get us hot 'drink'.  The only downside was trying to leave...
Back home, D&J dressed in dry warm clothes and I ran them back out to the campout.  Home and up working until 2.
