Recent conversation with Brenda:

me: I've been thinking about our love life lately.

Brenda: Have you been drinking?

me: I think the best comparison would be to the cockroach.

Brenda: Seriously, have you been drinking?

me: My passion for you is mostly active at night, it frightens the elderly, and it is completely impervious to nuclear weapons.

Brenda: My mom warned me about you.

East Meets West

So, good friends of ours, Lauren's godparents, invited our family to join them for a birthday dinner at a local Japanese steakhouse, Sakura. I've always wanted to go to one of these but until last night never had the opportunity. The girls are finicky eaters so prospects looked pretty slim. Go »
