Kerry-My dad works 12 hour days. Leaves home by seven, back at seven. My mom falls asleep by ten, my dad stays up till the wee hours. So basically I think he avoids her. Not ideal, but somehow they have stuck it out 42 years. Not the marriage I want, but hey not my problem. He is also a yeller with a short fuse and can be immature and borderline verbally abusive. Again, my IC says she is amazed I am as healthy as I am!
So, back to the reason behind all of these posts the past few days...GG had invited me up overnight for a football game (he has season tickets). However I didn't want to go overnight and it is also Homecoming here Friday night. He said we could get together another weekend since this is a busy weekend for me.
Well, tonight he texted asking if I had the kids this weekend. I said no. He said he will work on finding a way to come down and see me then....crazy guy! Who would give up football tickets?!?

Hmmmm....If I had a choice between spending time with a lady my age who wants to suck face or Cyclone football vs Texas Tech, I would pay someone to have to go watch that game for me. It would be a whole different matter if I had Ducks vs Stanford Cardinal tickets.
What was that movie with Matt Damon and Robin Williams? Williams is the psychiatrist and he's telling Damon's character that he had tickets to Game 6 of the 1975 World Series -- the classic Carlton Fisk 12th inning homer game -- and he met his future wife at a bar and gave away the tickets so he could stay with her.
"I had to see about a girl," was how he put it.
I'd reschedule my schedule for church_35, FB_37 or church_31 ... and BobbiJo.

You guys just made me blush and smile simultaneously.
But Kerry, you see for us Iowans, an Iowa State game is better than a Ducks game. However if I had St. Louis Cardinals tickets when they made the World Series, I would not give those up!
After some consideration, I would give the Ducks vs Cardinal tickets away. I dont think it would be fun to watch a slaughter in Autzen stadium. It is kind of sad really...all those people in the bay area have their hopes so very high right now following their big win over the Irish and will have them dashed this weekend.
While everyone remembers Carlton Fisk's homer in the 12th inning to force a game 7, lets not forget that the "BIG RED MACHINE" won game 7. I sure liked that "Reds" team of Bench, Rose, Morgan, Griffey Sr, Geronimo, Perez and Concepcion!
Too bad that Carl Yastrzemski never won a world series. His batting stance was the most unusual of all. But the same could be said for Ted Williams.
I liked the little arm twitch that Joe Morgan used to do right before the pitch.
The best hitter warm up stretch and stance in all of baseball has to go to Ichiro. And no one gets from home to first in a faster time. Dont even get me started on his laser beam arm. You could have a team of 9 Ichiro clones and they would lose to no one. The Mariners suck though.

It seems that the Hawkeyes are the far better team for football. Which school is bigger?
Oregon State is bigger than U of O. But the U of O has the better football record. A few years back the Beavers won back to back national titles in baseball.
If my kids asked me to choose which one they went to...I would put Oregon State over U of O. Eugene is just too weird of a city whereas Corvallis has more of a country feel to it.
Well University of Iowa is the "Liberal" school in Iowa, whereas Iowa State is more of the Ag school. I prefer Iowa State although my sis is a Hawkeye/U of I Law School alum.
Ditto with U of O. Eugene is the Berkley or Madison of Oregon. XW (who was a Beaver) told me that she went to Eugene once with her college boyfriend before she met me. There was a hemp festival (she has never smoked pot) and she literally passed out from all the smoke in the hot air. Whereas, one of her biggest memories of her time at Oregon State was having to husk corn so as to get free meals.
FYI... The movie Animal House was filmed at the University of Oregon.
