While my husband may not like sports we might as well be the communication and high tech capital of the world. My baseball game wouldn't look like I was right there on the field if it weren't for my husband's tech savvy skills. When I want to call a family member about the last blunder on the mound or how fantastically awesome the game was I have several ways to reach out and touch them, all courtesy of that man I love who rivals Sandra Bullock in The Net. If I dare to question my grandmother's game facts my husband has an Internet connection and the web-surfing skills to find out anything. He has no love for my games but he certainly supports them and me.

And when there's no game to entertain me I pick up my laptop and marvel at the new gadgets my husband found and put on my computer. Together we explore the latest fun programs. I listen and try to comprehend why exactly they are so fascinating, in the same way he tries to pretend that he knows what a balk is. We sit on either side of the couch and chat with each other on Facebook, much to the amusement of our friends who wonder why we just don't talk to each other. But when the computers are off and the games are over we still find things to say to each other. We're still interested in a lot of the same things. We still support each other in things that we don't care about but the other one clearly does. At the end of the day we're each other's soul mates. With or without computers and baseball.
