I hereby designate 2007 as “The Year of Unused Tickets”.  Last summer I won tickets to see the Deftones here in town, but was unable to find anyone to go with me.  Then when our van committed suicide at 12,000 ft. on Trail Ridge Road in Colorado, we were stuck in Grand Lake for an extra 4 days, preventing me from making it to the Dream Theater concert in Kansas City with a bunch of the guys from the church, a concert we had all been looking forward to for months. 

Yesterday, a blizzard over much of the state rendered our 6 tickets to last night’s basketball game between K-State and Winston-Salem St. useless.  Ellie took it standing up, the rest of us were pretty broken hearted.  So we watched our freshman phenom Michael Beasley score 40 points and put up his 11th “double-double” in 11 games on the television.

 I have two tickets to another basketball game next Saturday afternoon in Manhattan.  Our dearest friends are coming up from College Station and Jon and I are planning to drive up for the game.  The long range weather forecast says that the skies should be clear.  I’d say we’re about due to actually hand some tickets over and witness an event for which they were purchased.  We’ll see.
