Nothing Here To See, Now Move Along

If you are here for HNT, it's one post down. Personally, I wouldn't look. Don't say you weren't warned.

A couple of small things to get off of my chest. I had the strangest conversation with my ex-wife the night before last. She is in a semi-relationship with a guy that she met on the internet. He lives about three hours away and even though they have only been able to see each other a time or two, they talk every day and she thinks the fella cares for her. She goes on to tell me that she has started breaking dates and turning down offers because it would make her feel bad if he were going out and besides, she is pretty sure that he isn't. I asked her if she had talked to her long distance man about this and she said "No, I just assume that he isn't dating anybody either." Now correct me if I'm wrong folks, but I told her that she had better not assume anything. I was worried about her. Then she goes on to tell me, "well, I still go out, but I pay my own way so it really isn't considered a date." Now maybe it's just the stalker in me, but if a girl agrees to go out with me, I don't care if it's dutch, I pay, or she pays. By my definition, that's a date. So I tell her, "damn, I was worried about you, but now I'm worried about him. You had better clue him in before he finds out on his own and then you have fucked up what might have been a good thing!" Then we both started laughing our asses off because we realized how screwed up it is for an ex-spouse to be giving love life advice to his former wife. It was good for a chuckle.

The second thing. Saturday, four game packages go on sale for the Cardinals at the new Busch stadium. My first thought was to buy a pair of tickets. They have a package that is four weekend games against the Cubs, Nationals, Rockies, and Dodgers.

The new stadium is gonna be great and I'm definitely going to go to at least one game. I've been stuck with tickets a few times recently, so I'm not sure if this is a good idea. Opinions?

Now, for the real reason for this post. I intend to conduct an experiment. Basically, I want to know who really READS the crap I write. So, the first ten people to comment and then email me their address win a small prize. It isn't much, but hey, if you read this far, for a little more effort, you can get something for free. I will put it in the mail the next day. This should be interesting.
