Dbacks

We went to the baseball game, usually I'd be like "meh." But our seats were actually pretty cool so I was able to sit through all nine innings without asking Zach if we could leave.

How do I know the seats were cool? Because we were sitting behind Dan Majerle. I pretty much obsessed over his presence throughout the ball game.

7th Inning Conversation:
E: Should I go talk to Dan?
Z: Who?
E: (whisper-yell) DAN MAJERLE.
Z: I'm not even sure that's him.
E: What should I say?
Z: ... (turns back to game)
E: I think I'll tell him that in third grade when me and Natalie Tucker played house she always pretended her husband was Danny Ainge, and I always pretended that my husband was him!
Z: ...
E: I mean, for starters. That's what I'll say.
Z: I don't think that's Dan Marjerle.

And it WAS Dan. But I didn't go talk to him. And he's not really aging well. Shame.

OK, that's hilarious because the second you mentioned Dan Majerle, I totally started thinking about our third grade "husbands." As I recall, even Miss Niederkorn had one, and sadly I got stuck with KJ. Now how did that happen??

LOL. I would have been obsessing about it too. And I'm so glad you remembered our pretend lives with our basketball player husbands! You and your mom used to love Dan M. I love seeing stars no matter who they are.

P.S. LOVE your cute new office. Come decorate my house please :)

Delurking to tell you that I ALWAYS pretended in my backyard that Dan Majerle and I were dating. WHAT IS IT ABOUT THAT DAN MAJERLE?????

OK, I know I live in another world--Texas but who is Dan Majerle?

Went I was a kid our mate-pool consisted of the Cartwrights (Bonanza) or the Beatles.

Cathy was oldest so she got first choice, duh... That would be Adam Cartwright and Paul McCartney. Kay, of course got Little Joe, (totally unfair) and John Lennon. I got Hoss (because he was fat, like me) and my choice of George or Ringo.

PS I hope you didn't eat anything at the ballpark.

We almost went to that game (was it the final one of the season?) but the time was bad. You guys had excellent seats AND Majerle...score.
