We had been waiting for more than a month for this day to come, and then snow and ice and cold threatened to maybe cause us to cancel our plans to use the tickets Waylon and Family had gifted to us for the Mavericks game. But then “Pete” (weatherman) proclaimed that the ice would be mild, and the cold not freezing at game time, and the worst would wait until early the next morning.
Viv and I bundled up and headed to “Happiest Hour,” a restaurant on Olive Street, just a few short blocks from the game. And…..its valet parking would allow us to park there, eat good food, enjoy the game, and return to have our Escape delivered to us “safe and sound and warm” right at the end of the entry walkway. What a deal!
Triple-Dip appetizer and two entrees large enough for Shaquille O’Neal later, we headed quickly towards Victory Park, waved to the Channel 8 Co-Anchor, Chris Lawrence, through the plate glass window, had our tickets scanned and belongings searched for “bombs,” purchased bottomless sodas and popcorn that we knew we would soon want (even though we had already eaten too much), and were ushered to our seats close to the floor and down from the Mavs ManiAACs, who were already making a lot of noise and “dancing in place.”
