Work yesterday...

So, I worked last night and I was in the bar which was nice because everyone wanted to get drunk after the Suns bombed the 3rd game of the series. So, table 212 comes in, and the first thing I notice is the fatty rock on this lady's finger. I had been in a jewelry store a couple hours previous so they were on my mind. I could have ice skated on this diamond...no joke. So, the couple was pretty chatty, which was nice because when they came in I thought they would be really stuck up...first impression anyway. Anyhoo, they order a bottle of wine, an appetizer and an entree to share. I brought a dessert menu and they took for freakin' ever to choose, which was ok, cause I didn't have very many tables and I wasn't in any kind of hurry. Anyhoo, I walked by the table when the Suns were down by about 20 at the beginning of the 4th quarter. I made a funny joke about having fun watching the rest of the exciting game, and then turned back to them to explain my sarcasm and annoyance with the situation. "See, I'm a Braves fan. I grew up watching them excel and dominate in the regular season, and every year, they choked in the playoffs. 14 straight pennants and ONE world series championship. It's frustrating. Now, I have to deal with the Suns doing the same thing." The wife commented that it didn't matter as long as they played well and explained very nicely that no, that's not the case. What they do in the regular season means nothing if they can't bring home a ring or trophy. He chimed in with "I was just telling her the same thing." So, the lady points to the man and says "he used to play for the Braves." I looked at him, cocked my head and said "what's your name?" Albie Lopez and his wife were sitting at my table. No wonder her ring was the size of my eyeball. Albie is from Mesa, and only played for the Braves one year (2002) when he was traded from the D-Backs.

Nothing else. That's my story. It made my night. I have a pic on my cell phone but I have to download it first. I'll add it later. Peace out.
