My New Year’s Eve Surprise

New Year’s Eve was hectic around here and I have to admit that I thought my bride was out of her mind.  We had a full agenda on our plate and I in my feeble little mind felt Jean had … Continue reading →

Union Tickets

We had a fun time on Saturday night getting together over at the Nykanen’s. Terry Nykanen has been instrumental in piecing together season tickets for us at the Philadelphia Union. We went in our tickets with three other families (Nykanen, Hellberg, and Hernan’s), and Saturday night was the night we divvied up the tickets.

Terry ordered pizzas and had a full spread of wings, shrimp, and other finger foods out for us to enjoy, along with plenty of adult beverages. As the night progressed, our resident barkeep (Dave Hellberg) started to produce Chocolatini’s for the ladies at a surprisingly quick rate.

We ended up grabbing a slug of games for later in the summer, which appears to fit our schedule the best. We also are going to catch the US Men’s National Team against Turkey over Memorial Day weekend with the Nukes, so the kids will get a nice dose of professional soccer over the next few months.

It’s always a blast to get together at the Nuke’s, and I wanted to thank Terry for pulling it all together. She always does a great job of making things happen and we really are lucky to have her as a friend.
