Nuggets Tickets 04/04/15

[pics incl] I was given free tickets to tonight’s Nuggets game by Blake Olson. He is one of the Altitude TV Commentators/Announcers for the Nuggets.

I have to say that hanging out at a car wash allows you to meet all types of people from all walks of life! Unfortunately, I do not remember any of them 🙁 Several of “the regulars” have tried testing my memory… sigh… I don’t remember them… yet?!? will I ever?!?

So one day, a few weeks ago, when I was assisting a customer, I did a double-take and was standing there going “Why do I know you?” In a very quick series of me talking to myself out loud, I asked if he is with the Nuggets, along with an entire conversation with myself about the fact that he had to have been with them for at least 2 years because I do not remember most people from after that time. You get the gist…. I was not talking to him… but about him 😉 I finally blurted out “Hang on, you’re the announcer, Blake Olson!” Not “celebrity daze” but extreme excitement that I knew I remembered correctly!

He started laughing and said he was impressed because most people only know the others. [Personally I was thinking that “this guy wasn’t expecting a 45+ woman cashier at a car wash to know who he is.” 🙂 ]

We chatted a bit… real down to earth guy. Talked about Nuggets a bit, then Rockies & Broncos. I mentioned Jeff & girls coach for Gold Crown (which is Bill Hanzlik’s project (former player, also a Nuggets commentator). He asked if Jeff or I ever played, so we talked about me/Jeff & sisters & parents a bit. He asked about my accent. He lived in East Texas a few years.

I think he was pleased to hear that Jeff & girls coach (and…maybe I’m selfishly hoping he was impressed I knew who he is?!), and before he left, asked for my email address to send Nuggets tix if any come available?!? Very talkative and personable guy!

To be honest, I really haven’t thought about it nor “remembered” any of this. I know it happened but not the details. YAY me for writing it all down right when it happened (and txting Jeff 😉 ) and I can basically cut/paste into a blog. Of course, if YOU bump into Blake Olson and his story is different… believe him!

So when I received an email a couple days ago… I was “what?” oh yeah!

However, my head/neck have been hurting pretty bad since last Sunday night (and I was close to thinking I had it figured out… sigh). My neck has been pretty swollen all week and left arm doing that “getting really cold” thing it does. So I’m not even gonna pretend to think I could pull off a basketball game…

I let Jeff take Ashley!
