I've never been to a Boston Celtics Game.
We are traveling to Boston next month and of course, one of our priorities is to catch a Celtics game! I have been looking for tickets that we can afford to splurge on. Right now I've settled on two pretty good choices. One is mid court up high in the balcony. The other is down low just off to the right of the goal. I have used an online 3D view finder to see what the view is like from each of these seats. I can't decide if it's better to be in the middle up high or down low. Either way, I am sure that we will enjoy our night at the Celtics game!

Van's Store
I've never been to a Van's store.
We just learned about a Van's outlet store nearby and the kids are excited to go. Lots of styles at better prices, just what they are looking for! We did see yesterday that a Van's store is coming to our local mall. They did not have any promotional items besides the poster on the wall. That's all they need to get kids excited about their new store! Who knows, maybe my son will even get a job there.

Superbowl
I've never been to a Superbowl.
I hardly even watch them on TV! I do know that the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers are playing in tonight's superbowl. I have learned about what a great guy Kurt Warner of the Cardinals is. I have learned that the little diamonds on the Steelers helmets represent three elements that when combined make up steel. I have learned that the trophy presented to the winner of the bowl is called the Vince Lomabardi. As for who wins, I don't really care. I do like that it is a good conversation piece with some of the folks I care about!

pruning day
I've never been to pruning day at a winery.
This Saturday, Jan. 24, Haak Vineyards and Winery is pruning day. Fritz Westover, the Gulf Coast regional viticulture extension associate for Texas Cooperative Extension, will be on hand for a field educational visit. He will be teaching how to properly prune and grow grapes in Texas. He will also answer questions relating to growing grapes in Texas. You can take your cuttings home with you for growing or decoration.
After pruning, you can enjoy an oyster fry. For those who don't like oysters, you can choose a fish fillet or chicken sandwich. There will be live music by the Sharks. While menu prices vary, attending the event is free.

inauguration
I've never been to an inauguration.
A boy from my son's school is in DC now to attend the inauguration tomorrow. I am sure he will have lots to tell when he gets home. The mother of one of my son's friends is also in DC to attend tomorrow's inauguration. I am sure there are thousands of people who are excited to see the event. If you did not receive one of the free tickets, and did not purchase one of those free tickets from someone who did receive one, then you can catch all the happenings on television tomorrow. Here is a schedule of some of tomorrow's events:

hiking with Montucky
I've never been hiking with my fellow blogger Montucky.
This guy is amazing to me! He lives in Montana and goes hiking pretty nearly every day! I don't mean a little walk around town. I mean hiking miles and miles up and down mountains, over forest trails, through/on snow...and I think he is older than my dad! Montucky has the right idea! Forget gym memberships or the latest
diet pill, just go out for a daily hike to keep one's self in tip top condition!
That I'd like to see.
*thankfully he shares his photos nearly every day, so at least I can join him for a virtual hike*
