My wife and I went to a football game last sunday.
My wife is not a huge fan of football, but I got tickets to see the game from one of my coworkers. The guy is a season ticket holder, but he could not make it to the game on the weekend so he offered the tickets to me. I certainly wasn’t going to say no to a home game that I could see for free. My wife agreed to go with me if I bought some packages of hand warmers. It was supposed to be 21° with snow on the day of the game and the stadium is outdoors. It’s the perfect weather for a playoff game, but I knew it was going to be miserable for the two of us in the stadium. I bought some hand warmer packets for both of us. I also bought an extra set to put in our shoes if the temperatures were too cold. My hands and feet were freezing during the game and my wife was just as cold. I thought that my wife would be the one to complain about the temperatures, but I was ready to go home after the first quarter. Even a cup of hot cocoa could not change my mind. The temperatures continued to drop, especially after the sun went down for the day. It was 22 degrees when we started the halftime show, so my wife and I decided to leave early and go home. We caught the last quarter of the game from the warmth and heat of our own home.
