Behold, my awesome psychic ability!

D and I were sitting and watching the last 3 innings of the Twins/Jays game (Twins were ahead 8-3 at this point). Derrick had been watching some homicide investigation show, and I exerted my Power of Remote and vetoed his program. At this point, the Twins are up, there are men on 2nd and 3rd, one out. Joe Mauer is about to get a walk to load the bases (but we don't know that yet, do we?).

Derrick whines: "Hey, I was watching that other show you know...and we ARE up 8-3, what's the point?"

[Joe Mauer gets a walk to load the bases]

Me: "Well, you wouldn't want to miss the first grand slam of the Twins' season, now, would you?"
D: *rolls his eyes* "No, I guess not."

[Tori Hunter steps up to the plate and promptly hits the ball...hard...and drops his bat casually]

Me: "That's outta here."
D: "Looks like a high pop-up to me."
Announcers (Dick and Burt): "And that's outta here!"

[Grand slam dancing and butt-slapping ensues]

Me (smug-as-hell): "See, I TOLD you you didn't want to miss the first grand slam of the season."

*squee*

Other interesting conversations with D:

The gem of D's Tuesday:

D:"One of my clients that was supposed to meet with me today died today."

Me: "No? Really? What were you going to meet with them about?"

D:"Estate Planning"

Me: "Well, I guess that opportunity has passed, eh?"

Might have been weirder if it had been Life Insurance, but I think this qualifies as irony on some level anyway.

Y'know . . . I somehow manage to forget every year how much of a baseball geek you are until the season starts again . . .

You are an old married couple, you realize that, neh?

And how, exactly, does watching baseball make us an "old married couple?" Huh?

Huh?

Or is it the remote control? Cuz that's not an old married couple thing.

The general exchange . . . his complete "yes, dear" . . . et cetera.

And you tagged this "lovelife" . . . *gggls at you*
