Tickets Vs. Bill's Bar
By lefty
A few years ago the choice would have been easy. I'd call a couple of friends and get the best tickets possible to the opening game of the Red Sox vs. Yankee series tonight at Fenway. An online tickets search at ShowMeTickets.com found 2 decent seats for $470.00. Two bleachers would cost $260.00. I could get a parking pass for another $65.00, I'm told. Switch to Plan B.

Bills Bar at 5.5 Lansdowne St. in Boston, just beyond the Green Monster, looks appealing.
I sell Plan B to myself by remembering how a rich, amber lager, Samuel Adams Boston Lager of course, tastes washing down peanut salt. I remind myself of the new childrens' college fund I’ll start by not spending $535.00 irresponsibly on one night's selfish entertainment. I promise myself I’ll take some of that money and donate it to Curt's Pitch for ALS. I think back to the 1994 strike and how I lived without the choice. This all works. We’re going to have a great time at Bill's Bar.
