What if you're a pregnant surgeon?

The only time I ever touch my phone at HT is if I had plans with my wife and the game has taken longer than expected. Even then, we've learned to just not make plans because games just take longer than expected.

Like last night's F/JV G double header that took nearly 4 1/2 hours, easily over 100 fouls (2 intentional), 3 OTs. Game started at 4:00, I got home at 9:15.
