Novie has surfaced

[novie]

Let me first apologize to EVERYONE who I have had commitments to in terms of leagues I was to join, etc. Some extraordinary circumstances have arisen and I have been away far too long.

The long and short of it is this....

I had gone on vacation to see an old g-friend, who I have stayed close to for the last 6-7 years. Lo and behold one thing led to another and we are making plans for a future togther. This all came out of nowhere like a roundhouse left and turned my life upside down. :shock: I have been crazed between flying back and forth to see her, all the while trying to get my house on the market in Pitsburgh, while trying to look for a new job, meeting w/ headhunters, etc.

I doubt at anytime in the forseeable future that I will have much time to commit to SOMO, but I will try to check in when I can and join a league or two.

For those that sent PM's and message, wondering if everything was ok, thanks a bunch!! As you can now see, things are more than OK, they are off the hook terrific!!! :D

This seems like a good time to resurrect this thread. Just to help you keep things in perspective! :P

After hearing from a family member that some mutual friends were renewing their marrige vows, my wife made a casual remark that WE should do that. I've been married 16 years now. Saw my wife for 6 years before marriage. That puts us close to the 25 year mark when people do that sort of thing...I guess. Knowing more now than I did back then, I think I would like to rewrite some of those vows. Let me know if I missed anything. <Ahem>

Her Vows....

I promise to believe you when you say "anything from the credit card company that says TSN, Ford Field, Comerica Park, Wings Arena or The Palace is likely just a billing error that eventually will be caught and corrected."

I understand that "March Madness" is similar to "Pon Far," the Vulcan's seven year mandatory mating cycle and it's best to just leave it alone.

I will not announce "my water just broke" on SuperBowl Sunday ever again!

I promise to try and find the humor in your pulling the bed covers over my head while shouting "IT'S TIME TO PLAY BOMBS OVER TOKYO!"

I swear not to bug you about chores during halftime as I understand the need to recover from what was undoubtedly an emotionally draining first half.

I will try to understand your need to shout at the TV as the coaches may need your valuable advice, especially during a re-building season.

I swear NOT to wash your lucky jock strap during softball tournament time.

I understand that the occasional phone call from Fifi LaRue and Bottles Bartholamew are in fact, wrong numbers and you will tell them that from the back room.

I vow not to laugh at your SOM pitching staff...ever.

The remote is yours....period!

I promise not to use the phrase "Honey...we need to talk," during any Sudden Death, Overtime, Extra Innings etc....

I will learn to accept that "getting out' means going to a sports bar with your loud, beer spilling, hot dog choking, gin puking, Don Juan wannabe's whenever I complain we don't do enough together.

I swear not to get mad if I'm stranded in the bathroom without TP while you await the outcome of the "2 (15 minutes+ comical beer commercials) minute drill!"



My vows...."I'm ok with the seat down thing!"

Of course, this is just a rough draft so...no need to forward this to my wife!
