that when you ask your better half, who is traveling with dd for tournament, to record dd's at bats with GoPro...that they actually know how to do it. Just reviewed the clips...and dh is so far back, that you wouldn't know who was batting!! Only reason I know is DD has a special batting presentation that is unique. He stood by trees, behind "stands" (in Colorado, they have concrete "stands"), and way behind dugout. I am sitting here thinking WTH! Especially when DD hits them to fence 3-4x!! So I shake my head and keep my mouth shut. Why? Because he did what I asked...and I assumed that he would know to be AT the fence recording her. He didn't pack the spyder, I didn't ask him to. Note to self...be more specific next time. Sigh.
Don't assume...

Sounds like mission accomplished to me.. Just kidding.. DW usually has very clear and concise instructions for DD and I both.
After 20 years of marriage you would think she would trust me to be able to read her mind...

Yeah exactly...we just celebrated 20 years last month...he should be able to read my mind by now.

I'm guessing the thought bubble over his head reads something like..."One of these days I'll get it right, but....Oh well, another night in the dog house - maybe its time I get it wired for cable and wifi?"
DW and I have been together 21 years.....I still don't understand why she doesn't get it.... when I fix it, reward me! When I mow it, reward me! If I clean it, reward me! When we win it, reward me! When I dust it, reward me! If I vacuum, reward me! When I unclog your cousin it sized hair ball from the shower drain, reward me!
I'm from Mars damn it, so don't assume I speak Venetian.

It goes both ways for sure. Sometimes I couldn't make a game, or I'd be late, I'd ask DW to keep me posted by text. Many times her texts were NOT what happened or so confusing that I finally had to quit using her.
Examples:
Me: let me know DD's at bats
DW: ok
DW: got a hit
Me: where
DW: left side
Me: WHERE left side
DW: grass
( ugggggggggg )
DW: hit
( book showed ROE )
( uggggggggg )
DW: hit
( book showed fielders choice )
DW: double
( nope, single with extra base )
DW: out at first
Me: threw her out?
DW: no, left fielder caught it
Me: so she flew out to left field?
DW: no, the ball was hit in the air
( uggggggggg )
Me: what's score
DW: 2-3
Me: we home or visitors
DW: not sure
Me: who batted first
DW: Mady Kate
ME: that's our lead off, WAS SHE THE FIRST BATTER OF THE GAME
DW: no, but I don't know the other team's names
( ugggggggggg )
Me: score?
DW: 2-4
Me: are we winning
DW: yes
Later on
DW: losing 4-5
Me: how are we losing if we have 5 and they have 4
DW: they have 5
Me: that would be 5-4
( uggggggggg )
I could go on forever and ever. Bless her heart.

Yes, that looks all too familiar.
