Offensive

Last night Bull and Sarah were over the house and we had a great extended-play game of Apples to Apples.

One particularly difficult moment came up when Sarah had to choose which of our cards best represented “Offensive.” She was presented with:

  • Hollywood
  • Saddam Hussein
  • The New York Yankees

Lobbying is allowed, and she illustrated her fluctuating opinion about the different card choices by sliding the cards up as we made our arguments. I championed “Hollywood” as it was my card (my hand was low on offensive things after having gotten rid of car bomb, terrorist attacks and Madonna).

It was clear that nowadays “Pathetic” is a better word for Saddam (Maggie’s contribution). I gave up pushing Hollywood when I pictured A-Rod slapping the ball out of Arroyo’s glove.

In the end, Sarah applied her wisdom. Traveling with Bull and the Navy has taken her from her native land of Australia to Bahrain, then Maine and now Washington State (with many stops in between). She chose the Yankees. We love Sarah.

We DO love Sarah! Say hi to them for us. Hopefully, we'll get up to WA state to see them.
