Call me "Pudge"
Lats night at the company softball game, I had the opportunity to play the position of catcher. Josh was keeping score for us and decided not only to heckle me while I squatted and kept letting the ball bounce up into the ump’s knees, but also to suggest that I needed a good catcher’s nickname. Like Pudge. I am NOT with this choice. I don’t care how famous this Pudge catcher guy was. You should never give our wife the nickname Pudge.
Pudge was my favorite character in Shag! I actually can’t see Annabeth Gish without thinking of her as Pudge. And it’s been almost 20 years.
Hmm, this didn’t go the way I thought it would. You’re probably not looking for staying power with a nickname like that, huh?
