Oh snap.

Speaking of ex-wife stories...

I was calling an ASA state tourney a few years back. The pitch came in, hit the inside corner of the plate and bounced straight into the batter's... twig and giggleberries. He flinched a bit (as did I), and I held up the next pitch to ask the batter, "batter, are you all right?"

"Oh yeah, my ex wife took those from me a long time ago."

I had to hold up the pitch for another 10 seconds while I regained my composure.

You can my ex-wife's address as well. I have serious ulterior motives for giving hers out like this.

Well, I've notched mine and I dont actually look at those numbers - I click past them to the start point. I'm used to my 4 wheel clicker that has 4-3-3-9 and so I stick with it. I'm a creature of habit.

16 oz wide egg noodles
1 can tuna
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 cup milk
1 8 oz package cream cheese softened

Cook pasta according to package directions. Set aside. Blend together all remaining ingredients. Stir in cooked pasta. Place in lightly greased two quart baking dish. If mixture seems dry, add additional milk. Cover and bake at 350 for 30 minutes, remove from oven and stir. If mixture seems dry, add a little more milk. Place back in oven and continue to cook an additional 15 to 20 minutes. Serve.

It's because in our weekly pickup game we call 5 balls.

I'm sure somewhere they call 4 strikes.

* 2 6-ounce cans tuna, packed in oil
* 1/2 cup dry breadcrumbs
* 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
* 1 pound farfalle (bow-tie pasta)

Preheat oven to 400°F. Drain tuna; reserve oil. Mix breadcrumbs and Parmesan in small bowl. Mix in 4 tablespoons reserved oil from tuna.

Transfer pasta mixture to 3-quart oval baking dish. Sprinkle with crumb mixture. Bake until pasta is hot and topping is golden brown, about 25 minutes.
