I had a fabulous holiday break and I sure hope you all had one too. Based on what I know, we did not have many service issues during the break, so not many of the ITS staff members were called during the break… This is a good thing.
The highlight of the holiday break was our son Vivek taking me to see the Patriots vs Giants game at the Meadowlands on Dec 29th.
It was a fantastic experience that will be forever etched in my memory. Despite the fact that I have been a huge football fan for many years, this was the first time I was watching a game live. The Giants were my team for a long time… I have switched my allegiance to Patriots in recent years. So, this was a perfect game. However, our son inviting me to go see the game topped it all. He could have taken one of his buddies and would have had a much more interesting time… Instead, he invited me to go… How cool is that.
So, the way I would like to describe the experience is:
- Price of a a bottle of beer at the Giants Stadium – $7.75
- Price of our tickets as seen on Ebay – $300 – $500
- Watching a historic NFL game with your son from a $300 seat with a bottle of $7.75 beer – Priceless
Disclosure: Vivek is older than 21…
This was a terrific start for me.
The game was fantastic and I am thankful that the Giants played their starters for the entire game. All sorts of records were broken and we stayed till the end of the game and by the time we reached Vivek’s apartment in Manhattan, it was almost 1 AM.
Now, it is time to get back to all the exciting things in front of us…
