Philadelphia vs Toronto, 107 - 80

Last week, I got lucky and scored two Platinum tickets to the Raptors game against Allen Iverson and his 76ers. If anyone is not familiar with "Platinum", that's four rows away from the sidelines. As I found out later, it was close enough to spot Iverson's booger or to be sprayed with dandruff from his famous cornrows. And, Oh Boy, Albert was very excited because he knew I was going to take him to that ballgame. And I did, last Sunday, Dec. 18th. He got to see in person, Shavlik Randolph, one of his Duke idols who is now sporting a #42 76ers uniform.
More than that, because the ducats were a part of a bunch of tickets given to my Department as a promotional "gift" from one of our suppliers, there was also a lot of good food.. all for free. And Oh Boy... (see above).

By the way, I took some pictures with my own camera but the pictures you see here were from... (drum rolls please), NBA and ESPN websites, no less. If you look carefully, you'd spot Albert and his Daddy among the spectators near the front. We're stars too, eh?

Have a Merry Christmas Everyone.

To the Lomboses, we'll see you all on Christmas and on your Grandparents' 60th Wedding Anniversary.

(P.S. Raptors lost)
