I can smell a wild good chase a mile away. My beloved (bless his heart) cannot. We have been married 15 years this year and it took me about 2 years to figure out that he, my daughter and son do not, and probably will never be able to 1. know when something is a wild good chase, 2. if it sounds to good to be true--it probably is, 3. not be a sucker for a gadget.....and there are other things......but that's enough now. The only thing that I can think is that it must be genetic.
Now you ask what made me think about this? Because tonight was David's latest wild goose chase. Let me explain. There was a sign up at the school that our gkids attend that said something like this. "Country Music Show--dinner at 6 and show at 7." It was not in the local paper, nobody was saying anything about it, there were no flyers up in town and most of all......most of all........there was nothing on the sign, nor did anybody know who the singers would be. Okay? Okay.
David was all excited about going and I love music just as much as he does, but I began to smell the wild goose chase right away. Now I had planned to go, but after a day of cleaning/washing/etc. I was just too tired. I tried to make him see the light and get him to stay home and just veg out in front of the TV......but noooooooooo. Anyway, this is one time I didn't tag along, I decided that I would rather stay home and finish washing/folding/putting up clothes. (Now what does that tell you?)
He was home by 8:30, and I didn't say I told you so, but I did tease him a little........ok......more than a little. It must have been pretty bad, because normally he would have come home telling me every thing, but all he will say is that it was ok.
See, if he had just listened to me.........

no stories? no stories from dinner at 6, show at 7? ask me. Tell us. And those wild geese? Chasing them is the scenic drive.
h'mm...that was ask him, tell us. not me.
i did ask him and he's still pretty vague....how many singers? 3 or 4. what did they sing? oh just country songs. i know he was there because my co-worker told me saw him, but she worked the "dinner" and didn't listen to any of the music. she did say she left at 9:30 and it was still going on.....and he was home at 8:30. must have been pretty bad...and he just doesn't want me to say i told you so.
