Earlier this week, I was giving my class examples of "win-lose negotiations", and tried using students' names in my illustrations. I started by saying "Blah" and "Blah-blah" are married, and... Right when I said that, everyone started laughing. Reason? "Blah-blah" and "Mwah", who are both in the class, have been a couple for six years, something I didn't know. Thus, the class was laughing at "Mwah", who probably felt weird hearing his girlfriend, "Blah-blah", was married to someone else in my little example. Oops.
Last night, I had drinks with two female acquaintances, who talked about past relationships. I just don't get it. Why do men, who are already married, try to pick women up? They would say they're "taking a break from (their) relationship", but act as though they're not married. And this has happened to both of these women, on multiple times. Yikes. I ask, why? Why do men do that? Fun times, hearing their wild, entertaining stories. However, I've already promised not to use these tales in any upcoming books...
What happens early on doesn't necessarily tell you how things will end.
For example, look at the doubleheader between the Blue Jays and Red Sox at Fenway:
Game One
In the 4th inning, the Blue Jays had two runners (Vernon Wells on a blooper to left, Adam Lind on his own drive off the Green Monster) thrown out at third base within moments of each other. Toronto scored just a run to go up 2-0, even though it could have had more.
Jays won, 8-1.
Game Two
The Jays scored five runs to take a 5-2 lead in the second inning.
Red Sox rallied and won, 7-5.
