Just realized we’ll be in Houston early next week and could go to an Astros playoff game. Apparently tickets can be had for ~40. But the wife will probably put the kibosh on it since we’re visiting her family. Also, I hate the Astros…

You know you could take her family to the game. Problem solved :cool:

I can assure you they have zero interest. They have no clue why the boys and I would want to attend sporting events. The games take so long and it's so hard to find parking and it's late at night and so on and so forth.

I would definitely find a way to attend a playoff game in Houston!
I mean, what is she going to do, divorce you?
Like my dad always said...it’ll only hurt for a minute.
She’ll get over it...eventually.
You and your boys will have memories for a lifetime.

Well, I’ll put it to you like this,
I love my wife and my wife loves me, there’s no denying that. She is my best friend and I am hers.
But, sometimes I need a little space, so I intentionally do something that I know will pi$$ her off and I leak it, or leave it out in the open to be noticed. She gets mad and doesn’t talk to me, sometimes it’s a couple of hours, sometimes it’s a couple of days, but in the end, I get my “alone time.”
The question is, do I do something minor to gain myself a few hours or do I go all out and get myself a few days of peace?
It all depends on the level of my selfish need. An Astros playoff game, I’m sacrificing a few days, possibly up to a week.

Well, if I'm being honest (and this could be ascertained by the (low) number of times I post about MLB), I'm just not much of a fan of MLB fan these days. I was a MLB/yankees junky when I was a kid, but then became disinterested in baseball for quite a while, and only migrated back due to the love the boys and I have for the BaseVols.

Now, an MLB playoff game is definitely interesting, not feeling like a must. If it were a higher priority, foot would be put down. She tried to tell me the boys and I couldn't go to the Florida football game last year because they had a piano recital and I was like HEEELLLL to the no. She even got my sister (hater of sports) to shame me about raising children in a boorish and uncultured environment, which I just laughed at.

Plus, I don't like the astros and the game is the same time as the Sunday night 49ers-cowboys game... But, I'll ponder it.

You started your explanation just the way this song starts. But you went in a different direction.

Don’t be hard on yourself, it’s not your fault. It’s a University Science Professor trait. My brother in law took my dad to a Redsox game at Fenway, he was miserable.
