I always thought it was ultra cool how they're both in the same spot on either side with the same amount of head showing.
So freakin' cute it makes ya wanna barf.

It kinda looks like you were in that picture, too! :D

Nice to see Fej there as well. The last time I saw him was when we sat together to see Whose Line at DCA. Good times....

Great pics, wish I coulda been there...

[BarTopDancer]

I met up for lunch with a friend I haven't seen since the 6th grade. We found each other on Facebook and she lives up north.

Here's how one of our conversations went:

E "Do the Ducks have anything special going on today?"
M "They are playing in SJ tonight, why?"
E "Because they have a huge set up in front of the castle"
M [confused look] "I may have to upgrade to a PAP and check it out. But they aren't owned by Disney anymore.
E "Ya, they have all sorts of Oregon Ducks stuff up.
M "OOOOO Oregon Ducks. I thought you meant Anaheim Ducks. Ya, I got nothing"

[alphabassettgrrl]

Christmas in Vegas. Love it. Time with hubby's family. Awesome. Flight home before security goes bonkers- oh, gods, yes.

Now- cat is relieved to have her people home and to be let outside again. Hound has been picked up. And I used the drive to Acton to call my mommy and check in with my brother.

Now- on to editing the zillion pictures I took in Vegas.

Mom and I were playing Rock Band, and we didn't suck too bad. She was on drums and I was singing. ....Not to sound all high about myself, but...... I rule!! :D

As usual I forget one gift for the Wolfette...well actually she threw it out without knowing it and it just dawned on me this morning, something was missing from Santa's gifts.

Just printed out another one (creative note).....1 year pass to Knott's. Should make for a nice surprise this morning!

He's a great kid, so I'm not unhappy about it. We'll watch them like HAWKS, of course, but he really is a good kid. When they were in preschool together, his mom and I used to joke about them dating when they grew up- man, where did the time go?:rolleyes:

[ToriBear]

Okay, now this is funny: I get on FaceBook, I see a friend request thing and a message in my inbox, I don't think anything of it. I click on the friend thing: it's from the guy that hurt me in DL. In the message, he was saying that he was sorry for not contacting me sooner and that he wanted to be friends again.
Now, what's funny about all this is that he asked me to be his girlfriend but then turned me down and messed up our friendship, but now that I have a boyfriend, he comes back into the picture. Oy. Oh well, at least he wants to be friends, that's all I ever wanted.

[Alex]

Just remember, throwing over your current guy and eloping with the bad boy from your past is more fun than it sounds.

[alphabassettgrrl]

My cat has been suspiciously affectionate. Last night and this morning, she actually sat in my lap for a few minutes. Blocking access to my laptop, of course, because that is the way of a cat, but she actually stayed a bit.

[Alex]

'Tis the season. Ours was odd yesterday too. We were watching TV on the couch last night and she came and slept between us. I don't think I've ever seen her sleep on the couch before, let alone near us.

I would have to guess that you make up your own lyrics, just like my lovely husband. He was not allowed to sing to the child when he was young but now they both, son and husband, serenade me with horrible songs. Christmas this year was filled with "Randolph the rednecked cowboy" and many other special treats:rolleyes:

[cirquelover]

Tori, how wonderful for you to have a boyfriend. It's good that Mom seems to like him and you too of course!

That must mean it will soon be happening in my house too. I don't think I'm ready for the dating thing yet! Can't you kids just slow down and let us old folks catch our breath! ;)

[Mousey Girl]

It makes me happy that The Boy is still semi in the "girls are icky" stage.
Although, he has told me that he found out that his girlfriend from pre-school has been asking about him. They haven't seen each other since they were 5.

Christmas this year was filled with "Randolph the rednecked cowboy" and many other special treats:rolleyes:My favorite is "Walkin' Round in Women's Underwear" by Bob Rivers.

Walkin' Round in Women's Underwear

(to be sung to "Walkin' in a Winter Wonderland")

Lacy things -- the wife is missin',
Didn't ask -- her permission,
I'm wearin' her clothes,
Her silk pantyhose,
Walkin' 'round in women's underwear.

In the store -- there's a teddy,
Little straps -- like spaghetti,
It holds me so tight,
Like handcuffs at night,
Walkin' 'round in women's underwear.

In the office there's a guy named Melvin,
He pretends that I am Murphy Brown.
He'll say, "Are you ready?" I'll say,"Whoa, Man!"
"Let's wait until our wives are out of town!"

Later on, if you wanna,
We can dress -- like Madonna,
Put on some eyeshade,
And join the parade,
Walkin' 'round in women's underwear!

Lacy things... missin',
Didn't ask... permission,
Wearin' her clothes,
Her silk pantyhose,
Walkin' 'round in women's underwear,
Walkin' 'round in women's underwear,

For 5 days my left ear has been clogged up with wax. It was painful at one point it was so bad.

I was using debrox for the last 4 or so days and while it worked a bit, my ear was still plugged up. Worse though was the debrox was bothering me by running down my throat and making is sore, itchy and almost hives on my neck it seemed. I was trying to decide if I was actually getting sick on top of the wax thing or what. I'd also decided that I couldn't do the debrox another day longer and was just going to go pay a doctor cash to fix it for me.

Then an amazing thing happened this morning. It just popped itself open like magic!

What an amazing sensation to be able to hear out of that ear again! Wow!

The holiday lul is officially over. The lines are out our door this morning.

[Disneyphile]

So, I survived Christmas in Alabama, and really love my Southern family (Ken's kin). I've even been invited to visit at other times of the year and offered a spot on a future cattle drive. Of course, I intend to take them up on that one day. I can just see this city girl herding cows. Talk about adventure! :D

One cousin also gave me a cookbook with family recipes submitted by her entire small town. Most salads involve jello. It isn't the "touristy" southern cookbook... it's the real deal. ;)

[Mousey Girl]

OOOO. If there is a recipe for a Pastel Pound cake in it, definately try it. I usually make mine with lime jello. It is funny watching reactions to why the cake is green. I bake it in a 9x13 pan and double the lemon glaze. The Boy calls it the juicy cake.

Jane and Michael Stern's "Diner Food" (or something like that) cookbook yields many such treasures. The "Undescended Twinkies" is not half bad, especially if you use premium ingredients and douse the Twinkies in rum. The "Pepsi-Cola Cake With Broiled Peanut Butter Frosting" is only good for camp value.

[ozron]

I have a sudden urge to douse Twinkies in rum...

I'm not from the south but for much of my childhood a salad was more likely to include jello than a vegetable (unless it was carrots suspended in jello).

I'm not from the south but for much of my childhood a salad was more likely to include jello than a vegetable (unless it was carrots suspended in jello).

I didn't think a salad involved anything EXCEPT jello, 3 beans or head lettuce smothered in dressing until I was about 12. I don't think that's a Southern thing, just an American thing (and we wonder why we're all fat!).

Sooooo..... I realized last night that I've come to regard "Countdown" as what I have to wait through before Rachel Maddow comes on. I'm sure that's not what Keith had in mind when he brought her in.

This is not intended as a political opinion, just a TV observation.

[Alex]

Same here (though I was never too big of a KO watcher, he was a self-caricature before he even got this show). Though generally I'm only really interested in her first 20 minutes. Once she gets into the more set pieces I start to lose interest. But she starts with a good head of steam.

[alphabassettgrrl]

TiVo faithfully records Rachel for me every night and I don't have to deal with Keith. Love my TiVo.

So this afternoon I tried out Costco's photo upload site; they'll print the pics and I can pick them up in an hour. Uploading is more convenient than loading them onto a flash drive, I think. Their site is actually pretty slick- it tells you when the picture is a different shape than the print you're requesting and gives you the ability to crop it to the proper size/shape. I need to set up a portfolio, so this is good. I'm not good at getting my pictures printed and this will give me a good range of shots to choose from.

What's a good portfolio material? Should I use official-looking scrapbook paper? Or is there a ready-made thing I can use? Anybody done this?

Oh no, I was thinking about ordering some, since I see it as fairly ballsy to show the "bad reviews", make a claim that you've WAY improved, and then offer a money-back guarantee in a marketing blitz without being at least somewhat better than it was.

Oh well, I'll still try it, but I'll keep my expectations in check. It's been years since I've had Dominoes.

[Snowflake]

I've never had Dominos and do not feel inclined to try. Victor's Pizza is the spot of choice for delivery of pie. Nice thin and crisp crust, I was happy last time I ordered. Was very tasty and good.

[alphabassettgrrl]

That's what I need to figure out- what kind of book to put them in. It's just pictures that I've taken, but some of them are actually pretty decent. Husband suggested I try to sell some photos- magazines, micro-stock; we'll see what I can dig up. And for my own personal satisfaction, to have good photos in a handy form. Getting photos into a displayable form is something I've always been very bad at doing.

[Alex]

If Domino's pentupled the quality of their pizza it would still be a product I'd feel guilty for serving to the homeless and hungry.

She fought cancer well beyond what life expectancy they gave her, and she fought it bravely. Through the pain, the suffering, the strange and awful looks from people who just assumed she was anorexic. Carol, may you finally rest in peace.

We had a scare this evening.

I was in the kitchen making dinner. It was almost ready when I suddenly smelled a strong odor of burning paper. I turned off the stove and the oven. Bill and I searched the kitchen and the rest of the house. Bill even went out side to make sure the roof wasn't on fire. Nothing. After awhile it started to fade. We opened windows, and I pulled the pans off the stove. When I lifted the lid that the carrots were steaming in the burning paper odor poured out.

I never new that burning carrots smelled exactly like burning paper. I do now. :eek:

[ToriBear]

Well, tomorrow, my boyfriend is having surgery: the doctors are going to take out the old implants from his cochlea and put in his new cochlear implant. It's a pretty serious surgery and his mom is worried as heck. I'm going to skip school and go to the hospital to help out. Pretty scary surgery.

[Kevy Baby]

I'm going to skip school and go to the hospital to help out.Wow; you're a much smarter kid than I thought. I never knew you had surgical training.

Seriously; good luck tomorrow. The best thing to do is to be there for him and just treat him normal/ Tomorrow is just another day, you just happen to be spending it in the hospital.

Good luck to your BF tomorrow, Tori. I hope things go really well (I'm sure they will). Please keep us updated.

Just remember, cheating isn't cheating if one party in the relationship is anesthetized. And eloping with a surgeon while your boyfriend is drooling into his ear is more fun than it sounds.

Also, convincing him to get surgery is a much better way to avoid that big test than we used back when I was in school, which was calling in bomb threats.

[ToriBear]

Lol to Kevy and Alex.

Well, the surgery went very well. It was the longest one he had, but he didn't overly ill like he usually does so he could go home today. The whole day today seemed like a good day for everybody to tease me ( meaning making me blush a lot today, I'll have Mom explain that,). He looked like Princess Leia with the things over his ears, ( btw, his own doctor said that first, not me). Hopefully, he'll feel better tomorrow. I'll find out when I text him tomorrow, he's much to out of it tonight. Poor guy.

[wendybeth]

Heh heh.....his doc, one of the best ENT surgeons around and a very funny, cool guy- came out to tell us how Logan was doing. He explained to Logan's mom that he had to cath him during the operation, but that they would take it out before Logan woke up. He then made a little joke about 'no sex with the gf', little knowing that the gf was sitting right there...... Tori turned red, but the doc turned redder when we told him that Tori and Logan were an item. Kudos to him, he didn't backtrack or try to apologize (we were all laughing), but he was a little sheepish. :D

Seriously, BW? Very cool!

Yep, I figure I need to support O and myself once alimony runs out. Nursing's cool and the hours are flexible plus there is still a huge shortage of nurses out there (so jobs are available). I'm taking some prerequisites this semester and in the fall then will start nursing school next spring. Going back to school after so many years is weird...I feel old.

It'll be an odd change- I've been a SAH mom for over 9 years.

[flippyshark]

I didn't feel like starting a thread about it, but I thought it was incredibly cool that I was able to instantly donate money to the Red Cross Haiti earthquake relief effort by texting the word HAITI to 909-99. It donates ten bucks and puts it on your next phone bill. You can do it three times for any one phone user. Lazy do-goodery at its best. I encourage you all to do the same. (It beats simply ranting about what a crazy fvck Pat Robertson is, which I was tempted to do, but this parenthetical mention is more than that deserves.)

[wolfy999]

I guess I'm not that trusting....that is to text my money in hopes it reaches the right people.

[Alex]

The 909-99 is legitimate and goes to Red Cross (I had doubts too), but in general it is a good idea to investigate any online charity requests (or people in the street, calling, knocking on the door) before giving.

It's nearly midnight, and it's pouring rain outside. It NEVER rains in Eastern Washington in the middle of January- we usually get the frozen variety of precipitation this year. I feel like I'm living in Seattle, without the traffic. I know we're going to get hammered at some point, but compared to last year this winter has been beyond mild. It's Eric's fault- he bought a monster snow blower last October and has only been able to use it once. (And he really didn't even need to use it then, but he was desperate to try it out).

[lashbear]

We're off Camping again. Newnes & the Wolgan Valley.

See you all on Friday.

[Prudence]

So, my shoes don't all fit in the closet. The Rat finally got around to building me a little shelf to allow me to double-decker the back row of shoes.

They still don't all fit.

Either I have too many shoes, or the closet is too small.




Of course, the correct answer is that the closet is too small. Too many shoes?! Don't be ridiculous!

[Prudence]

So, today we had an adventure.

I had put my good shoes - work-appropriate pumps and flats - in the closet, which means they were no longer piled in the door way. This meant the door could be closed with ease. I was eager to demonstrate this new development with the Rat, so I shut the door.

Now, our bedroom has a little entry bit where the door opens. So, when you open the door, right ahead is the side of the closet. Make sense? And setting up against the wall had been my ancient wooden drying rack. Open door, see drying rack. Clear?

Okay. Now, apparently the shoes were holding up the rack, as when I closed the door, the rack fell forward.

Guess what is exactly as tall as the distance between the closet wall and the door?

Okay, not exactly - we could open the door about 1/2 inch. No kidding.

So.....windows closed and locked, solid wood door wedged shut. Hinges on the inside. Door knob access points on the inside.

Believe it or not, we used a coat hanger and got in. The Rat cut the hanger open and we used the hook part under the door to catch ahold of the side and then slid the coat hanger around the corner of the door and up the crack in the side and got the door open.

This was much more difficult that it sounds.

And we'll be finding a new home for the drying rack.

Well, I've heard of them but I've never seen them.

To me Bruce Campbell is just that guy from Burn Notice who shows up in the Spider-Man movies for some reason.

[Kevy Baby]

(Really?!?! I almost can't take KB seriously...)OK, AoD was pure camp. And that is what we loved about it.

The brief description of the movie from out TiVo: "Because of a time warp, a supermarket worker finds himself fighting in medieval England with a chainsaw and a '73 Oldsmobile." :)



Oh, and Susan and I first started liking Bruce Campbell in The Adventures of Brisco County Jr. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0105932/)

[Ghoulish Delight]

OK, AoD was pure camp. And that is what we loved about it. I believe E's disbelief lay not in the fact that you like AoD (duh!), but, like me, in the fact that it's new to you. It's just so wrong!

[Gn2Dlnd]

Hai gaiz! Um, I've never seen them either - I'm sure Cherny will have a seizure when he reads this.

Long weekend. Everyone is out enjoying the beautiful, sunny day....

I have no idea, sorry.

[Chernabog]

haha funny Jesse. Guess where I am? at work... workworkworkworkworkworkwork. The 23rd will be my first day off work this month! :)

[lindyhop]

It's really ugly outside. I went to Costco and bought a new shredder (fried the old one yesterday) and a convert slides to digital thingie. But they're both out in the car until the weather lets up just a little bit. I was going to do more shopping but decided I didn't need anything bad enough to drive through all the standing water and dodge downed tree branches. But driving through the flooded alley to get home was probably as bad as anywhere.

[blueerica]

Well, I managed to make a total ass out of myself - not once, but twice - in the span of three minutes.

Ugh.

Need a RE-DO!! I feel like my day has been one fail after another. Not in a career-ending kind of way, thankfully.

Ugh, ugh, ugh...

[JWBear]

I've been building furniture on SL.

I was waiting for the promised T-storms. It never happened.

My patio is partially flooded, and the backyard is totally flooded.

[alphabassettgrrl]

Oh, yeah, Bubba Ho-Tep was a craptastic movie. Loved it.

I was thinking that you people have been busy- 384 new posts. I guess I've been gone for a few days, though. My brother was in town, so I was playing tour guide. Loved it. And I had a few hours of work this morning.

[Prudence]

I've been working on a new resume and cover letter for a position in my prior career field. On the one hand, I sure enjoyed that career more than I do my current one. On the other hand, it's kind of like pretending that the whole law school thing didn't happen. Not that I'm using that JD for anything other than TP as things are presently, but at least I had to have a recent degree to qualify for the fellowship. I'd qualify for this position solely on the basis of my experience in my prior career. Plus, it's located back in the PNW.

Sigh.

Is it just me or has the traffic on the LoT been REALLY light in the last 12-24 hours?I've been spending a lot less time online this year. I want more time to do things I really love, so I'm not distracting myself by being online while working, so I can get my work done and then be off the computer in the evenings. So far, it's working out wonderfully! I'm actually getting things done around our home (made 3 sets of curtains on Saturday), and Ken and I have been playing board games on a nightly basis. It's so nice to just come home every night. I've figured out that I don't really need to stay "connected" all the time. :)

So the river flowing through the parking structure at work today amused me. I think it was coming all the way from the roof.

I've been carting around a giant unsightly Boeing umbrella, thus ensuring that whenever I'm outside it isn't raining. Will the trend hold? We shall see.

While you Socal'ers are getting battered by wind and rain, out here on the bitter East Coast, the sky is falling (http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2010/01/21/meteorite-hits-in-lorton-virginia/).


A small meteorite, about the size of a tennis ball or so, crashed into a Lorton, Virginia doctor’s office on Monday, according to several reports including one in the Washington Post. No one was hurt, but there was some damage

[BarTopDancer]

I didn't come up with this: Who knew the movie the Day After Tomorrow would be a training video.

[JWBear]

Soooo.... Our landlord came over today to unplug our kitchen sink. Apparently we are not to put food down - any food - down the garbage disposal. If we have food residue on anything, we are to wipe it off and put it in the garbage can.

Also, we mustn't store anything in the garage.

yeah... Right... :rolleyes:

[Kevy Baby]

WTF?!?

That was my reaction.

So only non-food items like rocks and tin foil?

[katiesue]

Actually we had a couple of apartments that asked us not to put much down the disposal as they clogged super easy. I kind of got in the habit and I really don't put much down ours.

If they do jam up ice cubes usually work to clean em out.

Then why bother having one? Either disposal or garage?

[CoasterMatt]

Take all the food residue and store it in the garage :evil:

[BarTopDancer]

Anything? Including cars? Or perhaps they mean don't store anything that will prevent the car from being parked in the garage?

[JWBear]

Well... The garage thing was a slightly sarcastic exaggeration on my part. Basically, we have to much stuff in the garage for his comfort (but we can still get a car in there!)

[wendybeth]

Whoohoo! I thought we were booked at DVC Grand California for five nights, but just checked our ressies and discovered we are actually there for six! (6/16-22). I've been looking at pics online, and it looks awesome. We have a two bedroom villa- it has three baths, two kitchens and sleeps nine. Needless to say, a Swanking or two is definitely in the works.

[alphabassettgrrl]

Sweet!

So there was a tornado in Ventura yesterday. Path of destruction 100 feet wide and ... a mile long? I forget. But there was an actual track. Not like in say, Kansas, where the touchdown path is wiped absolutely clean, but there was some minor damage along the path.

Still, to get an actual tornado here is pretty impressive.

There are a couple garages in my complex that are fire hazards despite their ability to get their car in there.

So, we're off to Joshua Tree tomorrow night for Chris' birthday. I got us a little cabin that looks adorable. The review are all great but a few of them all have the same concern.

the buffalo head above the bed is the only thing i would change but maybe because i'm a vegetarian
the buffalo head on the wall is a little creepy

Of course this only made us want to stay there!

I'll try and capture Thurston's response to Buff.

Enjoy the cabin and happy birthday, Chris!

Many thanks to GC for passing on my exciting news and thanks everyone for your congratulations. I have been a little busy this week so this is the first time I've been on LoT since the big event.

Orion Kiyoma Kline was born at 8:42 AM on January 20. He was 7 pounds 10 ounces and 20 1/2 inches long. He has his Japanese (maternal) grandfather's eyes. He has quite a bit of medium dark hair which probably comes from his dad since his mom and her siblings were all bald at birth.

Dylan and Cassandra wanted names from mythology like their own names. They got the name Orion from watching Stargate. They watched Close Encounters Tuesday night before Cassandra went into labor and one of the things they discussed during the pregnancy was if they should start the kid on Star Wars IV or Star Wars I. So science fiction geekery is a given.

His middle name is a mash-up of his grandfathers' middle names but it's also a Japanese word meaning upright and honest.

I spent Wednesday and Thursday evenings with a sleeping baby on my lap for about two hours each time. There's nothing better than that. He is, of course, the most perfect baby I've ever seen, that is since the last perfect baby 29 1/2 years ago. Thursday night he finally woke up before I left and I got to see his beautiful dark eyes. I can't wait to get to know him better.

Photos later today.

[Snowflake]

Congratulations to the perfect Grandma, Lindyhop! :snap:

[SzczerbiakManiac]

I had a weird experience last night. But first, a little background.

For the past couple weeks I've been checking airfares to go to Gen Con (http://www.gencon.com/2010/indy/default.aspx) this August. Cramming myself into a coach seat for a long flight just isn't a good idea (http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=3010041), so for the past few years, I've compared the price of two coach seats vs. the cost of a single first class ticket. In each case, FC was almost exactly the same as two coach, so I've flown FC for the extra benefits.

I wanted to see if that trend continued this year and it seemed to. Late last night I decided to actually buy my tickets and after checking several sites, I found that Delta.com (with whom I have a frequent flyer [flier?] account) had the best prices, but I was having problems getting the return flight time I wanted. I called their reservation line and got an operator who literally sounded like she just woke up. After telling her my flight dates, she said the cheapest fair was a red-eye. I don't want to sleep on the plane (because I twitch & snore), so I asked for a later flight. For the times I wanted to travel, she quoted me a price that was literally double what the web site showed. So I resigned myself to just dealing with the times the web site offered.

After I had been off the phone with the res agent for a few minutes, I realized I never heard the price for her "cheapest option". I figured I'd call back and see how cheap it was and make a decision based on that price. This time I got a cheery, very much awake agent. I explained what had happened before and she looked up flight times for me. She got the exact times I wanted, a non-stop flight for my return (WooHoo!), and for the same price showing on delta.com.

So I can't help but wonder, what was up with the first agent...?

[MouseWife]

First off, Congrats, Grandma! Love those ears!!!! MARKET THEM!!! ;0)

Second, the phone/airline issue. Hmm. I wonder if they are like my job at the Bull's Eye. Understaffed. Maybe they stuck someone in there who normally sweeps the floor while the other person took their lunch/15 minute break?

I am always being sent to operator {or rather, I was} but I started to say 'Ya know, I am not an operator.' They used to have cheat sheets which helped but for some reason they took them away. Dumb as they are always trying to stick random people there.

I am sorry for your troubles but happy you got your rate!!

[Gemini Cricket]

So I can't help but wonder, what was up with the first agent...?
Well, it's obvious to me. The first agent was obviously a member of the walking dead. A zombie.
But I'm glad you got what you wanted. Just be wary of zombies next time.

:D

[alphabassettgrrl]

Glad you got the right flight scheduled! Sometimes you get someone who isn't so on the ball.

[Gemini Cricket]

Sayyy, I just saw Darkbeer's Disneyland update for today. Disneyland and DCA look like crap. So many construction walls up, ROA drained... Holy cow. Terrible.

I heard about that bikini photo. She said she didn't have surgery.

Come on. If you recall, 'Kate' {from Jon & Kate + 8} had such excess skin from her pregnancy, a doctor did the surgery for free.

Octomom had 8.

I know, I know, she lies. I mean, didn't she say she never had ANY plastic surgery at all?

At the cost of 2 minor lacerations and a bruise, Bunny Condo Mark IV is complete. Munchkin and Lito no longer need separate enclosure so the two were merged and optimized, netting them more shared space and netting us the return of some of our livingroom. Yay!

Her: CALL!

Him: For one dead raccoon?

Her: YES!

Him: aaah OK.

Him: They only deal with animals on the street, not in back yards. Do you want me to move it onto the street?

Her: Of course not!

Ugh.

Oo, sorry you are still sick AND about the tooth. My teeth are a pain for me more than I care to admit.

Blech! on the dead raccoon! I hate to come across a dead mouse. And they stink!

Happy for my son in school these days. He is taking a class about law {yeah, I'm old and forget what they call it}. It is interesting for him and that is fantastic! He learned about double jeopardy today. I told him about the movie {his teacher recommended it} and about some cases I was aware of.

I told him I always loved law and psychology classes. He said he love math.

But, that he finds this interesting I am so happy!!
