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?

Definitely A Hatchet Murderer

And No Need for Anaesthesia
Recent conversation with Brenda: me: I've decided that I'm not going to play that "got your nose" game with our grandkids. Brenda: Oh, really? me: Yeah, I'm going to play "got your appendix" instead. Go »
Like Mother Teresa, Only Better
If you recognize the title of this post, then you are already familiar with Jenny Lawson, aka The Bloggess. I had the opportunity to meet her, briefly, at the Barnes & Noble book signing in Annapolis this weekend. She was larger than life and incredibly funny as she adlibbed before reading a selection from her book, Let's Pretend This Never Happened. Go »
