plotting a path

Little by little, year after year, very subtly, Patrick has tried to coax me into a sports-centric life. We have enjoyed pro, semi-pro and college games together, and have had tickets to some great events. It's been great fun, however I am puzzled at how I became this unlikely sporting event attendee. I am curious as to how many events we have attended over the years, and then triple or quadruple that number for Patrick's sports attendance.

Is there something to which I could be so dedicated? What kind of entertainment budget division should there be for spouses and different tickets for different venues of entertainment?

My lack of enthusiasm was clear the other night when Patrick asked me if I wanted to go to the Notre Dame game with him. Another ticket became available and his friends offered it up. Now, remembering that one of my favorite movies is "Rudy," I had no desire to go to Indiana. It could also be that the friends he's going with have no attraction for me. For whatever reason, it is clear that I am not a sports fan.

Is that a bad thing?
