The highlight of the Bucks game

Henry with Dr. Woods's baton

My bestest friend Shannon scored tickets to the Buckeyes game last weekend, so the fam got our bus fare together and trucked down to campus.

Unfortunately, the tickets didn't quite make it with us. Which freaked us out. Especially the Shannon part of us. Shanny and I split up with Henry and Sarah, who went to hear the band play (a really cool tradition before every home game). We jumped a bus to get back home.

We checked the house. No dice. We checked his car. Nada. So we walked to the bench that Shannon was sitting on before he boarded the bus to campus. As we got there, we saw what appeared to be one piece of cardboard amongst some bus stop trash and debris. It was not one, but TWO TICKETS. They were face down, and they had been there for 45 minutes. inSANE.

So we jumped back on the bus, all smiles, and met up with la familia just as the band was finishing. As we were mulling around St. John's afterward, Dr. Woods (OSU's Director of Bands) came up to Henry and gave him his baton to direct with. He decided to twirl it instead. He said "I see ... I guess he'll be a Drum Major, not a conductor."

I think Henry just didn't want to upstage him. We have, after all, raised Henry to be a polite young man.

The game was great (we killed 'em), I had a great time with Shannon, and getting there was indeed half the ??fun??
