I am on a roll….a random roll….. It’s Spring and it’s baseball season and..and… it’s anything else that can be plucked out of the air and assigned a meaning.
1. As I write, I am listening to the Blue Jays opener and we are now in the 16th inning and right now the Jays are ahead and we have our fingers crossed. I write about this because baseball makes a religion of randomness. It keeps detailed statistics about things like – how many times a pitcher’s hat falls off during an inning…during a game…etc. We are now into a new statistic – the longest opening game in history – 16 innings and counting….
2. My son was looking for a measuring tape tonight. One of the soft dressmakers’s measuring tapes. Now you would think that in a home where needlework of any kind is a scared art, that there would be a measuring tape. Well, I somehow could not randomly pull a soft measuring tape out of my elbow no matter how hard I tried 🙂
However, my husband, who usually can’t find his glasses, though they may be perched on the end of his nose said, ” go into my car and somewhere between the driver’s seat and the passenger’s seat you will find and IKEA tape measure. OK hands up – anyone who randomly keeps IKEA measuring tapes in the front seat of their car. This is a home where random rules.
I am sure that there are a few more – “go-figures” today – but I probably thought that they were just “normal” read random so they blended into the day and have been lost.
I’ll try to keep better stats. BTW The Jays won – how random is that? !!!
Have a winning day!!!!
