lynx game, in skybox

 just before midday i made it to downtown Minneapolis to see the Minnesota Lynx basketball game at the target center. i was offered a ticket to see it in my employer's skybox. there still were problems with being kicked off of the app but i was advised to go to a line where a man with a computer found my listing and issued me a ticket. as expected, there was plenty of free food and drink when i made it to the skybox. i had two cans of beer, a Coors light and a blue moon. i had plenty of popcorn and some peanuts, along with a cold cut sandwich, as well as hot food- chicken strips, and a hot dog. can't forget the goodies, i had a brownie and a big cookie. this was never much of a contest. i knew the lynx were good, playing the team from los angeles, but it was a lopsided score fairly early. the lynx were doubling the score at halftime and went on to win, 101-78. i recognized a few people from work there, and spoke with the lady that places the supply orders for me. there was a moment of silence before the game began, in memory of a politician who had been shot. i rode the light rail home after the game and the news was on when i got home, more about the manhunt for the assassin. in the evening i watched part of the baseball game on fox, after getting groceries at aldi. it was red sox-yankees again, this time from boston, red sox won a close one. i placed an order for a twins game outing through my alumni chapter, event will be in august. during my walks i found 75 cents.
