A Bonus Game

I have been tracking the Major League Baseball schedule of nationally televised games http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/official_info/broadcasts/national.jsp?tcid=mm_mlb_schedule, so I will know when I might get to see a Yankee or Red Sox game.  I knew I was going to have the opportunity to watch the Yankees on Wednesday night. I did not pay much attention to the opponent. 

I planned to run some errands tonight. As it turned out, one needed to be done before tomorrow, so it made sense to do them all.  I got off work exactly at 5 PM, fed the cats, and left home a little before 6 PM to do my errands.

I did not rush. I did not think I had anything to rush home to do.  I purchased a couple of new hoses for the back yard, and I was not sure I was going to put them out tonight, or wait.  We may get some rain later in the week, so I may not need to water.  My days to water are Tuesday and Friday, given our current restrictions http://www.ci.lubbock.tx.us/departmental-websites/departments/water-department/water-restrictions, but I mostly hand water or use soaker hoses, so I can water anytime.

The problem with my current hoses is one leaks at the connections.  I tried to get replacement connections, but that did not help.  The other is cracked and leaks unpredictably wherever.  So, it was time for new hoses.

Well, when I got home, I needed to sit to rest my back and turned on the TV.  Flipping through the channels, I found the Yankee vs. Cubs game on WGN http://wgntv.com/. So, that is a bonus game for me.

Looking at the schedule, I should get to watch a Red Sox and a Yankee game on Memorial Day.  That is great!
