I was trying to be nice but even my dad is having the same dilemna, although in his case it is a close family friend for almost 30 years, so he is obligated to attend his best friend's wife's Birthday party much to his chagrin. Pouting all the way, he is, though he will get to see much of the first half and listen to the radio through most of the third quarter.

I feel your pain though and understand your dilemna. I complain about missing anything involving the Redskins!!!!! Best of luck though I know you will do the right thing maybe you can compromise!!!
