Recent conversation with Brenda.
Me: You know those signs that say 'Keep Off the Grass'?
Brenda: Of course.
Me: I wonder if they have those at drug rehab places or if they just feel that it's redundant.
Brenda: I think you need one of those signs.
Me: I actually had a poster in my bedroom as a teenager that said 'Good Buds Stick Together'. Lord knows why my parents put up with that. Maybe they didn't get it. When I started college I switched to 'Coffee. If You're Not Shaking, You Need Another Cup'.
Brenda: I had a poster of Leif Garrett.
Me: And you think I'm mentally impaired?

I took the girls to a minor league baseball game last night. It was Autism Awareness night at the Bowie Baysox game which was the incentive for Brenda and I to go.

Brenda and I went to closing for our new house today. Everything went smoothly and an hour and a half later I left with the keys in my pocket. We're moving this weekend so I'll be a little scarce here. Go »Exercise By Proxy
Recent conversation with Brenda: Brenda: I just watched a guy do 50 push-ups. Can you do that? Me: Sure. Go »
