In a couple of days, Helen and I will celebrate our second wedding anniversary. We've got a friend babysitting for Kailyn, and are planning on going out to a nice dinner. There's only one slight problem: For the first time in 39 years, the Boston Bruins have a chance to win the Stanley Cup, and guess which night the final game will be?
In all likelihood, I'll DVR the game, try like Hell not to find out the score then watch in 'real time' later. The rationale being that I'd rather be mad at myself for missing an exciting game live for a few days than have my wife be mad at me forever for messing up our anniversary.
Of course, a similar dilemma will arise later this year, when I have Terrace Club (read: swanky) seats to see the Red Sox take on the Mariners at Safeco Field. On Helen's birthday. Should I go? It's an afternoon game, so I'll be home in time to take her to dinner :)
UPDATE: We went to dinner, I basically turned off my phone and when we came home I watched the game 'as live' and got to see the Bruins win the Stanley Cup. All in all it was a great day!
