Actually, I do almost all the cooking.

The conversations usually go more like this....

GF: I'm home
GF: Yoo Hoo, I'm home
GF: You in there?
GF: Yoo Hoo
GF: Anybody home?
PL: Hi, honey
GF: Hi, Sweetie. I see you're on the computer again.
PL: Yeah. I'm doing my baseball team for tomorrow.
GF: When does it all end?
PL: Never
GF: Never?
PL: Well, there's a small window between the end of the baseball season and the start of the basketball season. That assumes ESPN doesn't have a basball playoffs fantasy game. They didn't last year, but who knows?
GF: I want to throw this computer out the window.
PL: Meanie.
GF: I don't understand why you have to do this every day.
PL: I explained that already. About 20 times, for chrissakes.
GF: I still don't get it.
PL: That's because you don't understand how the game works. See, every day you have to pick a different pitching staff....
GF: What's a pitching staff?
PL: A pitching staff. You know, every baseball team has a bunch of pitchers.
GF: Oh :rolleyes:
PS: But every day, a different pitcher pitches. So if you change your PS based on who's pitching, that changes the whole salry cap thing. You're either over the cap, so.....
GF: What's a salary cap?
PL: Well, each player has a value, depending on how good her is. You've heard of Derek Jeter, right?
GF: Yeah.....
PL: Well, he's good, so he has a higher value than, let's say,Alex Gonzalez.
GF: Who's Alex Gonazalez?
PL: Well, actually there are two Alex Gonzalezes. One plays for Florida, and the other used to play for the Cubs, but now he plays for Montreal.
GF: I'm confused.
PL: So am I. I got them mixed up once and took the wrong one. The one I took went 0-4, and the one I meant to take went 3-4, with a homer and 3 RBIs. Cost me 11 points. Anyway, each player has a different value, so you can't have a team of all players who are as good as Derek Jeter.
GF: Why not?
PL: Because then you'll be over the salary cap
GF: What's a salary cap?
PL: Well, the total value of all of your players can't be more than 50, so...
GF: I'm going to jump off the terrace now. I'll probably be killed since it's a nine story drop.
PL: OK hon, see you later. Have a nice time.
