NBA play offs (not really, lol)

[mowens]

I think I've mentioned before that my son in law works for the Cleveland Cavaliers. The way I understand it, he is one of three security managers. He's in charge of physical security for Rocket Mortgage arena. Another is in charge of video surveillance and there's a third that I'm not sure of.

Consequently, he has access to really good seats. For last Sunday's playoff game with the Knicks my daughter and my granddaughter used his seats.

I got a kick out of my granddaughter. She went to a playoff game in seats that probably cost a few hundred bucks and she tells me "we went to Daddy's work today". Her favorite part was getting the 2 plastic sticks that you bang  together to distract the other team.

It's pretty adorable watching her go around with her daddy on his rounds. He usually goes around and checks with the people working the gates, etc. He's probably 6'4" and 280lbs, shaved head, pretty intimidating looking. taking his little 3 foot tall, 4 year old daughter along with him. There's an escalator that goes up to a restricted area. She loves that. They'll ride it 3 or 4 times in a row.

He's a combat vet. He spent 18 months in Iraq at the beginning of the last Iraq war. His main job was as a gunner on convoys.

They're expecting another daughter in June. I can imagine them being in high school and a boy meeting dad for the first time. Ykes. But he sure loves his little girl.

Depends where. Some are in the thousands. Floor seats (I can't imagine how much). We sell out every game. We love our Cavs. Great org. to work for, from everything I hear. Good for you son-in-law!

Oops, my bad. Saturday

At Easter Sunday's game, they had an event for children. Maybe that's what I'm thinking of.

Cute story mowens, but let's be clear. The purpose of those sticks is to keep the Cleveland fans busy with their hands to deter them from picking their nose.

She's 4. She'll find a way.

Wow...that's awesome, Mike.
It's a great feeling knowing your grandkids are loved and fiercely protected.

Enjoy it now!
My oldest granddaughter will officially be a teenager this summer, so the time really does fly by quickly.
