Recent conversation with Brenda.
Brenda: My aunt just had a birthday. She's 94.
me: What's her name, Aunt Tique?
Brenda: No, Aunt Sybil. And don't let her hear you call her that. She's pretty feisty.
me: I think I could take her. Maybe when she's napping.
Brenda: She claims that she boxed when she was younger. Beat a few boys up 'cause they were afraid to hit a girl.
me: I'd box her. I'm not afraid to hit an old lady. My prediction: Early Knockout.
Brenda: You or her?
me: Her. I'll hit her in the locker room with a pipe.

A few nights ago, Brenda and I took the girls to Baltimore for a follow-up appointment for Olivia at Johns Hopkins Medical Center. She is treated at their Epilepsy clinic because of seizures. The appointment went well enough that we decided to take advantage of being in Baltimore by having dinner at the Hard Rock Café there. Go »Vacation Week
We took the girls to the National Zoo in Washington D.C., a part of the Smithsonian network of attractions. Home of the famous pandas, the National Zoo is incredibly diverse and seemingly comprehensive. Go »Worst Pun Ever
