"A triumph for globalization and the internet"


That is what A.'s email to me today said. I quote: "Are you having any luck with Rangers playoff tickets? I am in the virtual waiting room in another window on my internet browser now, hoping to get some. Wouldn't that be a triumph for globalization and the internet, if I could get playoff tickets in the virtual waiting room from Ethiopia!"

And then another email dated an hour later:

"Hi mom and dad,

The triumph of the internet is complete. I got eight tickets for the first Rangers home playoff game. They are in the third deck on the second row, two thirds of the way down the third base side. I really wish I was home to go to the game.

Why don't you invite *** and see if *** wants any of the tickets. I know he is a real fan. Maybe *** is/could be around and would want to go. You can use the tickets however you want. If there seems to be no one interested there is always eBay."

This child is crazy. He is a real fan. Anybody need tickets to the Rangers' playoff game 1? Wait, do we even know if the Rangers' are in the playoffs yet?

Currently (Oakland is still playing tonight) the Rangers are 2.5 games back with 9 left to play. So the Rangers still have a chance to make the playoffs.

I never quite follow the math about if so-and-so wins and so-and-so loses, then so-and-so will be in the playoffs, etc. But I guess if the Rangers don't get into the playoffs, A. will eventually get his $$ back.

Linda, is it just me, or did you use to have a link to your website with the pics of your family and stuff? I know I've been there before. Am thinking I need a brain transplant.....Ma Hoyt

I'm doing some remodeling on my blog, and I'm not very good at it, so I lost it somewhere. I'll go try to find it, but in the meantime, the URL for The Empty Nest website is http://home.comcast.net/~linda.simons/
