This has nothing to do with sports games, but I thought I’d mention it anyway
I work from home. I have three jobs, really.
1) Play and write about computer and video games and then wait for my check to arrive.
2) Take care of my three year old daughter (this is way more fun than #1)
3) Take care of the house and play the role of Mr. Mom. (Not as much fun as #1)
My lovely wife works in the Real World as a project/help desk manager at an advertising firm. I can relate to that; I worked tech support for a year in the mid 90’s before quitting to play video games. I hated tech support. I liked video games. I had a degree in English Lit from The Ohio State University so dammit — I wanted to write, not help Barb from accounting fix her Outlook task bar.
I do all of the cooking at our house. I really enjoy it. I can whip you up some manicotti or some chicken divan faster than you can say “girlie man.” It’s to the point that when we go out to eat I look at the dinner in front of me thinking, “Man, they should have added some white pepper to this sauce…” I need help. I’m a child rearing, crock pot cooking, video game playing dad. I have reached the conclusion that Ashley (the daughter) will either think I am the coolest dad on the planet or quite possibly the biggest dork/father in Ohio. The jury is definitely still out on that one.
I mention all of this because I’m kinda bored waiting for the water to boil as I prepare tonight’s meal (roasted new potatoes, corn chowder, and fennel crusted pork chops, if you’re wondering). I also mention it because from time to time I plan on going off topic like this and I wanted to prepare you for that. This website (I still call it a website; Dan calls it a blog, but he’s a bigger dork than I am so draw your own conclusions) — anyway this blog/website is about sports games but it’s also about me and Dan and the more we can personalize it the better reading it’ll make for you. This is especially true if you have somehow wandered onto this page and have absolutely no idea who Bill Abner and Dan Clarke are and why you should care what we think about MVP Baseball.
At the VERY least…you’ll get some great cooking tips from time to time.
