    Thanks Serio,I'm sure someone will be needing your extra ticket come Sunday morning.and that someone might be me.
    I can't believe that people are calling to see if I have extra tickets for the game.,I tell them that there's Standing Room Only and that's maybe.

    BTW. If any of you have Christy's (my bartender) phone number and are riding the bus, please call her so that you can meet up with her. She's wanting to still take the bus and wants to be sure she'll know someone on it. (Tommy & I are driving instead.)

    thanks!
