Coming To Terms with Something...



My husband (kind of nerdy...not geeky. He's like a wannabe jock but kind of smart, he likes to play (basketball & another "sport" to be announced in just a moment) & is pretty good, LOL, you know, in the 35+ mens league (LOL) but the nerdy (well, maybe it is geeky?) thing is that he analyzes all the guys' (on the team, he's the "captain", put together this basketball team, did a couple softball leagues over the summer) anyhow...he like analyzes how many points/rebounds/I can't even tell you what else because I can't even stand to be in a gym when basketball is being played (squeaky shoes...EEK!) OK, so I can't even believe I'm admitting this... OK, here goes...he's been emailing with a local guy (I can't believe it that there is more than one of my husband anywhere, I feel like starting a support group) and is starting a.... ugh!!! wiffleball league....THERE, I said it... so, church wiffleball league...he just got done telling me that the church is excited about it. (Duh...for getting a bunch of 30+ year old men into their gym for wiffleball? I'd think...again, just me, that I would NOT want those people playing in my gym) OK... I don't even know what else to say...LOL... I'm married to a basketball, softball (which are kind of normal-ish sports for a guy to play, I think) and WIFFLE BALL player...that, my friends...is just not right. I'm kind of, in an oddly curious way, thinking that I should probably go check out the "guys" who are playing...I should probably, for the sake of my own sanity, find out if these are nerdier (geekier?) guys that I know I'm married to. If you are a nerd (geek?), do you know it? Because, I'm thinking, maybe they just don't know...I can't be the one to break it to them...but I'd think holding a plastic bat & hitting a ball with holes in it in a church gym on a Saturday night... you'd HAVE to know...right?

I used to be kind of geeky...I never had to study and got good grades in school...but that left me wide open to have fun...so book-geeky, but not a social geek...so I'm having a little issue with this. LOL...I just don't know if I can go and watch a bunch of grown men take wiffleball seriously... Is there an "h" in there "whiffleball"? I don't even know...I never really thought it was a sport. This is, however, a "sport" that I will watch on the occasional chance that I might have to watch a game... in general, I don't go to his games (softball or basketball) because I have very poor vision and NO depth perception, so I am TERRIFIED of the ball...any ball...but I am NOT afraid of a wiffleball. If bowling was my thing...I wouldn't be afraid of that either...unless someone gets really angry, I've never seen a wayward-thrown bowling ball...although it would hurt if it were thrown... but not so much the wiffleball. OK... coming to terms with marrying into nerd-dom (geekdom?)....
