Someone calling the game...not Ernie...new guy...the coffeemaker with a fresh brew, sounds like it is releasing steam...or like water, a shower, running in another room...the taps of my fingertips on the keys. Space crickets...they don't exist...not really, but their noise is there...and now the fridge has begun to sing backup to the coffee-maker...the wife spoke from the other room, come on Tigers, get some more runs...and it's like the space crickets are competing with the appliances...or is that white noise? and in a moment or two, either my wife or I will call out to the other, do I need to come in there! faux anger...or if the game starts to take a turn for the worst...and she lets them know, I'll say something like, come on honey, give the boys a break...and we'll say together, yeah I know, they're only getting 21 million.
