Stadium Seating. Check.

So last Sunday I went to my first game at Arrowhead in well over 10 years. I can't begin to tell you what a huge accomplishment this was for someone who hasn't been able to fit in a stadium/arena seat in as many years. Not to say it was a comfortable fit, nor was the guy to my right probably thrilled to have my arm around his back half the game, but it was an accomplishment nonetheless. 2 years ago at Lambeau with Dad, I was sitting on a bleacher seat with half of my arse in the aisle. Otherwise I wouldn't have been able to go. And yeah, last Sunday the Packers lost, but it really didn't matter in the scheme of things.

Weight loss is slow right now, but still steady. Am down 127 pounds. When I start a new day job, I will have much less idle time on my hands and that will keep me out of the kitchen, and out of the watering holes as often. That should speed things up. Still impatient, and at the same time pleased with my progress.

Now back to game day. It wasn't just fitting in the seat that was the issue. As much of a hurdle in years past was the amount of walking required. From the parking lot to the stadium. Then up to the top level, then up the stairs, then down the stairs at halftime, then back up, back down, back up, back down. Then the lengthy walk back to the car. And you wanna know what? I did it with relative ease. Much easier than 10 plus years ago. Truly. That shocked me. Can't imagine how easy a Royals game is gonna be this spring.

Staying humble though as there is more gray in my hair daily, and I can see a little more of my forehead than I use to. Guess you can't be "perfect" in every area.....Insert laugh track.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.
