ASK LISA:

my girl asks this question:

"Lisa, do you ever attempt to speak Lenny's language when it comes to
fantasy baseball? Do you ever check out any websites to get some info
so you can talk to him a little about his passion? If so, what
websites? If not, does he ever try and talk to you about fantasy and if
so how do you respond?"

Hi Phil and Phil's Lady,

Well, this may surprise you both, but I have absolutely NO interest in anything sports related whatsoever.

I have never tried to understand fantasy baseball. I know Lenny has explained to me hundreds of times how it works, but I just don't get it.

I did go to a draft once with him, but only because I was pregnant and about due and he didn't want to leave me home alone.

I have never looked up anything on websites or newspapers. I probably should, but it just doesn't interest me.

One time I did go to a Met game, only because my son really wanted me to go. So, ok fine I went, and I complained the whole time because the seats were in the baking sun and I was dying of the heat. I have never gone again.

Lenny's fantasy baseball stuff is his own little escape that he happily enjoys on his own. Thankfully, he has our 8 year old son to play with :)

We have very different personalities. I am into computers and "geeky" stuff, which Lenny doesn't understand.

Regards,

Lisa Melnick
