What not to do.

What not to do when your boyfriend, who hails from Houston, watches the World Series between the Houston Astros and the Chicago White Sox.

1. Question his commitment to the Astros.
   
2. Express pity about the White Sox and how they have won a World Series in forever.
   
3. Ask about dinner.
   
4. Touch the remote control.
   
5. Don't believe him when he says Barbara Bush is the grey-haired lady right behind home plate.
   
6. Keep asking "isn't it over yet"
   
7. Inadvertently cheer a particularly good play by the White Sox.
   
8. Continue in my world completely unaffected as to whether the Astros win or lose.

P.S. I'm a Mets fan so like the 'Stros fans I'm waiting till next year.

While Sam was watching Game 4 of the World Series, you should have gone to Williams-Sonoma and purchased a Pumpkin Cheesecake Pan.

You should have strapped a live trout to your arms, and made vague and barely audible comments about rudabega.

Or gotten a nice bowl of fish pudding.

Try underwater hockey or naked hang gliding. Not a lot of room for error and/or superfluous talking. Besides, those capacitor remotes can be quite shocking if not used properly!
