Recent conversation with Brenda:

me: I heard a song on the radio on the ride home today and found myself returning to the 70's.

Brenda: Like you ever left.

me: Be that as it may, I was bobbing my head to Journey's Lovin, Touchin', Squeezin'.

Brenda: And that's bad because...

me: Perhaps you didn't hear me - It was Journey! I'm a little upset about it. I may have to kick my own ass.

Brenda: I like Journey. My friends like Journey.

me: That's exactly my point. You and your friends view .38 Special, Air Supply, and Bad Company as if those guys rock.

Brenda: Air Supply doesn't rock but Bad Company was badass.

me: That's why you're not allowed to choose the radio station in the car.

Strike Two

After giving her report which mimicked the other reports to a large degree, she informed us that she felt it was time to officially put it in the record that Olivia was intellectually disabled. Go »

We Were That Close

Brenda and I looked at a house a few days ago and were very charmed by it. It was a ranch style home with four bedrooms, a large fenced yard and was selling at a reasonable price. Brenda was a little unsure of the size of the bedrooms but agreed to go back and specifically measure them with a tape measure and if they met her minimum standards, she would agree to make an offer for the house.
