I just remembered another incident to show how bad this obsession is:
When my boys were playing Rugby League at Olympic Park during a Melbourne Storm game a few weeks back I made a point of showing everyone in our group (some 30 people) that Venus and Jupiter were the only objects visible in the sky with all the stadium lights on!
Sheesh!
EDIT: Oh yeah, there was also when me and my 2 boys were showing and explaining the recent Venus, Joop, Moon conjunction at footy training to all the players and assistant coaches!
