A great day

Monday, Dina & Michael took Barb & I to watch the Tigers/Rays game at Comerica Park. The ride down was interesting because #1 Michael drove (Dina drives 99% of the time) and #2 he drove straight down Woodward Avenue to the ballpark. Woodward Avenue runs from Pontiac to Detroit. It encompasses some of the richest real estate in the area but also some of the worst as well. It's disheartening to see beautiful old churches boarded up in the ghetto areas.
Our first surprise was the great seats that they got for us. They were in the Tigers Den which are behind homeplate and are wide, wooden chairs with a cushion and a little table between two seats. Must be how rich people watch baseball! A waiter kept coming by to see if we needed anything. The odd thing was his prices were the same as the concession stands and much quicker service. (no lines to stand in between innings)
Our second surprise was that son-in-law Byron came to the game with a woman he works with and he was sitting, in the Tigers Den just two rows in front of us. Temporarily at least - apparently the real owners
