We're singing a new song 'round our house...

'Cause it's root! root! root! for either team,
Whoever wins, it's the same,
When there's Yankees and Marlins fans
Going to the ballgame!

My husband is a Yankees fan; he's been one since birth. He was born in Manhattan, you see, and his dad is a Yankees fan and his dad is a Yankees fan...

My son is a Marlins fan. He doesn't quite understand team rivalries yet, and thinks that the Marlins are the *real* baseball team and other people come down to Pro Player Stadium to play them and then disapear again.

Our anniversary is this weekend and:
1. If my parents weren't traveling, we'd hop on a Jet Blue plane tomorrow and leave the kids at home and pay what it takes to get tickets from a scalper; and
2. We've now changed our plans for dinner tomorrow night, and are going out at 6 so we can be home in time to watch at least most of the game.

Hugs to all Cubs and Sox fans - I actually was vaguely rooting for those teams, and it's a little weird knowing that everyone in the country HATES US or at least our team, but to the rest of you, I say, "There's always next year!"

And to those outside the US and/or Canada... Sorry for boring you! :)

I'm sure everyone who made this game is dead by now...

Gacked from heinous_bitca, learn what happens when kids play video games from their parents' era.

And now, I must confess that I had both E.T. and the Empire Strikes Back game (because Revenge Return of the Jedi - The Movie hadn't been released yet. But my favorite videogame was SuperPacMan - no idea why I was better at that than the regular PacMan games, but I liked it more.

Of course, we're taching Harry about skeeball, air hockey and pinbal, thanks to Chuck E. Cheese, these days...
