It’s a smorgasbord (up in here! up in here!)!!

I’m going to have to start bringing a grocery sack to games.

And I don’t mean that as a bad thing, at all!

Tuesday night, as the Wolf girls’ basketball team celebrated Senior Night, I celebrated moms (and dads) giving me free food night.

All together, I scored freshly-baked sourdough bread (Jodi Crimmins), freshly-made Red Velvet cupcakes (MaryAnn Engle) and a freshly-cooked cheeseburger (Joel Norris, delivery man for the moms in the concession stand, and quite proficient at lobbing foil-wrapped missiles several rows into the stands).

After the game, as we talked to the coaches, my high school journalism mentor (and now the Sports Editor for that unnamed Canadian paper), Jim Waller, eyed my haul a bit enviously.

Bound, as he is, by journalistic ethics and all, he was goin’ home empty-handed. I, however, was goin’ home to get busy with some cupcakes.

This gig’s working out OK, after all.
