Card Of The Week September 13
I went to a Washington Nationals game a few weeks back and my daughter and I were walking along the concourse looking for our seats when we encountered a Japanese woman walkig in the opposite direction wearing a Tokyo Yakult Swallows jersey. I called out "Go Swallows!" which caused her to stop and blurt out in surprise "You know the Swallows?". I talked to her for a minute or so, babbling something about being a big fan of Japanese baseball and having gone to Jingu Stadium once but between the noise of the ballpark and my tendency to talk fast, she probably didn't understand a word I said. But it was yet another opportunity to embarrass my teen age daughter in public so at least I enjoyed it.
