I was up in Arlington yesterday, and of course, I had to go by Hobby Lobby.  How can it possibly be time for them to start stocking all of this yet? Of course, it will be half price by Halloween, or somewhere around there. This year in order to continue my annual father/daughter Opening Day tradition of watching the Texas Rangers, I bought a 10 game mini plan that came with opening day tickets. Technically, I am considered a Season Ticket Holder. I picked a terrific year to buy season tickets, didn't I? My friend that went in 50/50 is thinking the same thing.

There's nothing like watching a ball game in air conditioning in Texas. They had to open the doors early because the thunderstorm was about to hit Houston.
