I sat across the aisle last night from a young married couple and their little, maybe 2 year old daughter, at the Royals game, and it triggered all kinds of feelings in me. First of all, I felt like I’d just seen Bigfoot or the Loch Ness Monster, because here was this young family and they were just so happy and together. Secondly, my jaded cynicism went straight to “look me up in a couple of years.” About the 4th inning, she turned to him and confessed that because she had taken tonight off, she wasn’t going to be able to take any other time off the rest of the month…and then he started grilling her on what other time she had taken off, and I thought “yeah, peeps, now we’re back to reality.”
