Not Safe Anywhere


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.

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.
