Yep. That’s my ante this year. No, it wasn’t for everything combined (flowers, cards, dinner, etc.). It’s for one gift.

One click of the mouse and my bank account became severly dehydrated. 

Of course, I should say that it was my wife’s Valentine’s request that we go see the San Antonio Spurs play the Phoenix Suns on April 9. So, as a sports fan, I can’t say it hurt me toooooo much (but it did hurt). It did bug me that I had to go through StubHub.com, though. I went through the Spurs site first, which directed me to Ticketmaster (which I hate since Pearl Jam began boycotting them in the mid-1990s). But that site only offered my the tickets of the $40 variety.

It’s a great price, but the seating is terrible. You lean forward an inch and and you’ll find your self stumbling from the balcony, through the terrace and onto the plaza level in a heartbeat. I went with section 115 on StubHub, where the seating is near the Spurs bench, and there’s little threat of falling the equivalent of eight flights of stairs.

Also of note, …

My alma mater got pretty brave today. With the UIL biennial realignment, the Edcouch-Elsa Yellowjackets, a.k.a, La Maquina, a.k.a God’s Country (No, Edinburg is not God’s Country), decided to open up their football schedule in the next two years with Corpus Christi Calallen, Harlingen High and Port Isabel.

While I’m happy to say they got scheduling that reminds me of the good ol’ days, I hope they’ve got enough firepower to keep up with these dudes, notably Calallen.
