  1. So far as your news sources go, you are undoubtedly correct. There are some weird puppies around here. *cough* ecker *cough* You’re right about the Super Bowl halftime show; if I want to see a boob I’ll just watch one of the network anchors.

    John, in the interests of fairness, disconnect the dance dance revolution so that the Diva doesn’t practive 24/7.

  2. My first car was an ancient Buick Electra Station Wagon. It was as long as a Suburban and probably more tank-like. Once I had to make a tight left turn and got so intimidated, I nearly cried. I actually got out of the car and switched places with my mom, and she finished the turn. 🙂

    All this to say, I feel your pain. My friends used to tell me that if they went to war, they’d want my car next to them.
