Dear Jeanne and Leonard: When my brother and his family were in town this fall, my nice neighbor -- a widower in his 80s -- let them stay at his house while he went to visit his sister. Since, like many folks around here, he's become a big Golden State Warriors fan, I decided that a great way to reciprocate would be to take him to a game, which I did. I know he enjoyed himself, but something he said made me realize he has no idea how expensive Warriors basketball games have become. While I paid more than $200 for the tickets, I can tell he thinks they cost $10 or $15 each (I paid more than that just for parking).
Money Manners: Warriors tickets were no mere trinkets
