3. Take Me Out To The Ball Game!
Taste a hot dog from the best seats in the stadium.....Angel Stadium…that is!
Smell the pine tar on Vlady's helmet...
Listen to Torii's bat connect on a 3-2 count over the center field wall...
Watch Frankie throw his arms in the air after a Halo's victory.
You may have seen a baseball game before, but until you've seen a game from Jackie Autry's personal seats behind the on-deck circle, you haven't experienced the best baseball Southern California has to offer.
There are 4 seats plus parking for the 2009 Season!
These tickets are priceless; they can't be purchased anywhere ... except right here; right now….
Dodger fans...you can bid too.

4. Puppy
They dance with joy when we come home, put their heads on our knees and stare longingly into our eyes. Ah, we think, at last, the love and loyalty we so richly deserve and so rarely receive. They have the wonderful characteristic of being unable to speak. We are therefore free to fill in the blanks with what we need to hear. "You are wonderful….I love you…..never change…..and all I want for dinner is…. kibble!"
And with that…the bidding begins for this loving, darling, and well trained (well..he will be with the 3 free training sessions) 5 week old Male AKC Certified Yellow Labrador puppy at $750.00.
