One of the best birthday presents ever

I recently celebrated my birthday and received one of the best presents in memory.  It is right up there with my Richie Ashburn model left-handed baseball glove I received as a  youngster.  I opened up an envelope and there were two plane tickets to Phoenix for me and my wife, reservations for three nights in the Glendale Hampton Inn, and two sets of tickets for Royals games - March 16 against the ChiSox (at their stadium) and March 18 against the Mariners in Surprise.  I will get to see the preview of the Battle for Grass Creek!  This was a wonderful surprise and now I will need to go back and look at old posts as to what to do when visiting Phoenix.  Any new ideas?

Just think of all the early bird specials and the senior citizens discounts

that you can take part in. If you have a car then drive up to the Prescott area. Your wife will love you for it. Don’t get any ideas of retiring out there. Omaha couldn’t stand the brain drain. I am jealous you lucky old fart.

It would be hard to imagine a better gift.

Good for you.

That is awesome

If you get an autographed picture of Jacobs, Willie, and the pr0f355or all together, I’ll give you as much as $15 for it.

But what I’m really interested in is seeing a pic of that Ashburn glove…
