I was in bed reading my iPad and Barb was asleep beside
me. All of a sudden, she punched me in
the head. It was a hard punch and really
hurt. I thought maybe I should sleep in
the spare bedroom.
For many years, I kept a family diary devoted to good news and funny stories about my family while the girls were growing up. I stopped a few years ago. I am thinking of starting it up again because I have noticed that a lot of good and funny things are happening to my wife and I.

Memory
The pickleball girls are still using my schedules until they
figure out the new app. Again Barb came
home upset about the way it worked. Barb
ended being on the same court with one lady three out the eight games. I wanted to see how that happened. So we tried to review the days' games. Barb wracked her brain for quite a while
trying to remember the names of the ladies that came out to play today. She knew there were 13 ladies but she could
only remember 12 names. Finally I
realized she had not counted herself.
213 Pages
I printed out a 213 page document and as it was printing I
was watching the printer tray and it was running out of paper. I was very happy when I had exactly the right
amount of paper in the paper tray to print all 213 pages. I was lucky because many times if the printer
runs out paper while printing the paper gets jammed.
Daddy
Barb accidently called me Dad in front of her friend
Cassandra and Cassandra made fun of it saying Daddy must be something naughty that
Barb calls me when she is alone with me.
Reply All
The hockey pool organizer sends out an organization wide email
before the hockey pool to see if anyone new wants to join the hockey pool this
year. Once the people who want to
participate in the pool have been identified, he sends out an new email with
just the addresses of the participants.
However, Barb didn't understand the nuances of these emails and she sent
a personal email as a Reply All to the first invitation email and it went to
all the employees at the office not just the participants of the hockey pool.
Hockey Pool Divorce
A pickleball instructor came out to the courts this morning
and after the regular play, Barb stayed around to get some individual
instruction. She stayed about an extra
hour because she knew I had a late ball game and would not be home for a
while. As she was driving casually home,
she looked at the clock in the car and noticed it was around 12:15 and she
realized she had forgotten about the hockey pool draft at 12:30.
She was more than 20 minutes away from home. So she rushed home and jumped out of her
sweaty pickleball cloths and into a housedress and grabbed the phone and her
draft list to get to the conference call.
Fortunately, it took a while for the guys to get organized for the draft
and she wasn't late. We might have to
get divorced if she had missed the hockey pool draft after I had worked for two
weeks to implement her new strategy.
Conference ID
Barb got the email from the hockey pool organizer telling
the out of towners how to get on the conference call for the draft. On the day of the draft, I was leaving for my
ball game and noticed the draft list on the counter that was turned upside down
and had the phone number to call to get on the conference call. When I saw the phone number, I realized she
had not written down the conference ID number that was needed to get to the
right conference call. So I looked up
the email and wrote conference ID on the paper beside the phone number. Barb would never have figured out how to get
to the right conference call if she didn't have the conference ID.
