Tonight I went with my father-in-law Al to a Padres game. When Nancy and I became season ticket holders we signed up for a promotion the Padres call their “Frequent Friars.” We swipe a card at each game and earn points that can be redeemed for stuff. Most of it is junk but the card is free and we go to the games anyway. Tonight I swiped my card and got a free baseball cap (to add to my extensive collection). I also got a coupon for a “Free Classic Ghirardelli Chocolate Bar” at the Ice Cream Shop on 5th Ave, with a purchase of $10 or more. The best part? It’s 7/18/2007 and the coupon expires on 7/15/2007. So if anyone has a time machine I could borrow…
