Give your husband his own dose of 'sports trivia.'
Did you know that today in 1861 James A. Naismith was born.
Who was he?
He was the inventor of one of the biggest sports in America. While teaching physical education at the YMCA in Springfield, Massachusetts, he created the game of basketball.
His idea was a 'slam-dunk.' LOL
Tell your hubby - he'll be impressed (or jealous) that you know something he doesn't know.

The World Series is over - can I have my husband back?
Yes, the world series has finally ended.
If you have been a sports-widow for the Baseball World Series you're not alone. To be fair, a lot of women love the sport of baseball, but we typically don't ignore the kids, the bills, the chores, and neglect to walk the dog during this time.
Yes, I bet it was you (and not your husband who made the sacrifice to miss the baseball game to take your kids trick or treating on Halloween (a good and better choice if you ask me).
Nevertheless, millions of dinners these past couple of weeks have been served in front of television sets and not at the dinner table. This is, of course, the great American pastime. Perhaps, we're headed back to normalcy for awhile now - or at least until the Bowl games of football start.
By-the-way, the New York Yankees won the World Series for the 27th time (yes, I rooted for the underdog)in six games. The final score against Philadelphia was 7-3. The pitching was excellent, and dominated the game (oh, I guess I watched, too). I only wish I'd had a hot dog during the game.
