Just wanted to check base

A daughter was texting her father to see how things were going and said she just wanted to check base. This is a nice congruent conflation of “touch base” and “check in”, both meaning to make contact or renew communications with someone. Baseball pitchers also do this. A tip of the hat to John Kooser for submitting this one!
