As for the marriages that crumble due to officiating; they have other issues too. Officiating alone isn't going to bring a marriage down.

The scheduling on a birthday thing is mainly due to me forgetting when the games come rolling in. With our insane practice of scheduling 2 years in advance and with commissioners sending out contracts with 5-10 games on them, I ended up taking games when I wish I hadn't.

This coming season, though, I'm off on my kid's birthday and Valentine's Day (where we won't go out anyway because the restaurants are too crowded) and my wife's birthday (although my kid's birthday is Sunday and my wife's is Wednesday, the two days of the week no games are played around here). Off our anniversary so far, too. It's also a Wednesday in 2011.

I'll have to tell Michele......she just asked if they were all Wednesdays and Sundays -- nothing slips by her.
