7:00 p.m. --Great seats for the Jays game. Somewhere around the third inning, #21,108 frowns. "Yo, bro," he says around a mouthful of $9 Mc Donalds hamburger, "isn't baseball season way over?"
I shrug and try to look older and wiser, both of which I am. "With enough money, you can get anything from professional athletes."
"Oh?" He's somewhere between impressed (which I'd hoped for) and terrified (which also works). "And how much is enough?"
I smile enigmatically. "If you have to ask, you can't afford it."
I wonder how long I can keep Manda from noticing her Amex bill.
Jays win it 7-3. Much is right with the world.
