A Fun Guessing Game

Monday, February 13th, 2006

I actually meant to write this blog a week ago, at the annual occurence of a momentous event. It was February 2nd. What’s your guess?This was how my conversation with UltraDad went when I played the guessing game with him:
Me: “February 2 is coming up in a week. Is there anything special about that date?”
UD: “I think it’s a Thursday.”
Me: “Anything else?”
UD: (slyly) “Well, its Groundhog’s Day, so I guess we will get a weather forecast.”
Me:”OK, but that’s not what I was thinking of.”
UD: “Okay, its our Wedding Anniversary. How many years now…......32?”
Me: “Yes, but still not what I was thinking of…....The new season of Survivor starts on that day!”
UD: (Grumpily) “Great.” (he is NOT a fan)

As luck would have it, when the big day arrived, we were both scheduled, me for training in Cedar, and he for MSHA safety training for his job. We decided to make plans to rendezvous a bit later in the day. On my way home from Cedar, I called him on the cellphone.
Me: “Oh, you are home. What do you want to do about dinner?”
He: “I thought I would take you out.”
Me: “How about it you order a pizza and we eat it at home?”
He: “Good idea!”

When I arrived home, he asked me where the pizza was. I guess for some reason, (probably because I had mentioned it), he thought I was picking it up on my way home. Silly boy.
While he went to get it, I tuned into Survivor. Great Anniversary.

    Poor dad.  What kind of pizza did you get?  Was it delicious?  How was the first episode of Survivior?  What is Survivor? Details! Details!!

    Yes, the pizza was delicious. Half Garlic Chicken, and half Meat Lovers, as I recall.
    Survivor, for those of you who have been living on the moon, is the king of Reality Shows, and, according to Johnny, its people like me that have caused the proliferation of said shows. But really, Survivor is the only one I watch. Honest..ok maybe a little American Idol and The Apprentice once in a while but that’s it!
