I would go down to the dugouts and count the money from the contribution boxes, with about 40 other bros and sis. In the dugouts you can't hear the speaker. man what a relief it was.
WTH???? You counted money DURING the assembly.... Wonder why why wouldn't pipe the speakers in the dugouts...we could still hear them in the bathrooms..

666. 667. 668. ooops.

Blondie, if I remember correctly, they did that at tent city in Montreal back in '85, didn't they? I remember my 1 year old got really sick during that assembly and we stayed at the camper and could hear it.

My life got much better as a teenager when I volunteered to work in first aid. Lots of activity, exploring the stadiums, adrenaline/cowboy mentality. I'd get partnered with a paramedic fireman. Man, I learned so much and absolutely confirmed that I had to work in emergency medicine somehow. Best one was at Cincinnati's Riverfront Stadium.

.............i got bored, tired, hot. Yeah, that about sums it up for me. I used to sit there and take it, and even remembered bits.
