One of the perks of my job is that it sometimes gives me opportunities to do enjoyable things, and this Monday was a prime example. I got invited to an exhibition tennis match with Pete Sampras and Roger Federer - only two of the greatest male tennis players alive. While it didn't have the pizzazz of the Open finals, it was great to watch, and they kept us entertained until the very last serve (Federer won this as well).
The only bad part? It was the one day I forgot my camera. But I did manage to take some blurry pictures on my phone.
The Idea: Go see a professional game of your favorite sport. Whether it's basketball, football, the olympics, hockey, swimming, you owe it to yourself to splurge for the tickets.
The Cost: It could be expensive, but you only live once, so you can't let expenses deter you from living your life.
The Benefit: The feeling of being there at an event that will never happen the same way again is just great.
Next up: Football (i.e. what the rest of the world calls football) World Cup in South Africa. Whoo-hoo!!
