Recent encounter at my local deli:
Me: (signaling my server) Excuse me, this is an egg salad sandwich.
Server: Yes, bon appétit.
Me: But I ordered a chicken salad sandwich.
Sever: Well, egg salad technically is chicken salad.
Me: So, it is. (placing menu on table with picture of monopoly money on the kid's menu) And this is technically money so keep the change. (I walked out without the sandwich. And the picture was of a $50 bill, but I'm a heavy tipper.)

Renaissance: Everything Old Is New Again
The Maryland Renaissance Festival is an annual event that takes place on eight consecutive weekends each year at an outdoor site in Crownsville, MD. It usually starts right around when school does so Brenda and I have been distracted away from going for several years. We promised the girls we would absolutely go this year for their mini-vacation. Go »Real Baseball
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. The girls actually enjoyed the game for the first few innings but were more interested in the foods, carousel, moon bounce and face painting. Go »Pass the Ketchup

I waited until October to write a post regarding Halloween so credit me that much. It's still a little early but this stuff is pretty good. First, some really great costumes. Go »
