Geez.  Make sure, absolutely sure that he knows you won them.  Otherwise, you will be setting that bar WAY high.  What a special fun thing.  That so rocks.  For real.

I won tickets to a Lyle Lovett concert last October. I have zero interest in Mr. Lovett but they made a nice present for my folks who were having an anniversary.

It was a trivia question: Horton Smith won the first one of these in 1934.

Me - The Augusta National

Host -  Very good! So, you're a big golfing fan then?

Me - Not really. I just figured since you named a single person it wasn't a team sport and the big tennis tourny is in England so that left golf and that meant Augusta.

Host - (pause) I guess that'll work too.

We got back from the game about an hour ago.  It was AWESOME!!!  We were in a skybox with a great view of the game and great food, too.  And the Gophers absolutely pounded Colorado into the ice.  The final score was 3-0 with the Gophers having the puck most of the time and making at least twice as many goal attempts as Colorado.  My son got a cap, a puck and a free team poster as souvenirs.  We'll remember this for a long time.
