So last night we went to the
Sox game - long story short it took me (Chris) three hours to get to Boston and boy were Althea and I hungry and cranky when we arrived. We met Matt at
ACircle, our favorite spot for before game fair - however we arrived at
ACircle in the 3rd inning. After a lovely meal and feeling much better we walked to the park - strolling in during the 6
th inning was actually rather delightful. Okay, okay I'm getting to the
Timlin part...
Melva (featured on the blog), our usher, is in love with Miss Althea. Melva decided that Mike
Timlin needed to meet Miss Althea. "Mike, hey Mike!" "Hi Melva, what's up?" "I want you to meet my new friend." She gestures to Matt to stand up and walk to the edge of the bullpen fence. "This is Althea." "Hi Althea." "
Timlin, will you sign my baby?" Yes, that is really what Matt said - he's been saying it for weeks, making fun of the can I have a ball kids we see every game. "Yeah, sure toss her over the fence." Yup,
Timlin has a sense of humor. Miss Althea smiled away at him - she did not go over the fence - although
Okie is still her main squeeze she thinks
Timlin is the man!
