I’m not cut out to live alone. I really, REALLY need someone else around the house or I start to drive myself crazy.
Yes Dear left Thursday to go with her parents on a family vacation to
Tennessee (where I think they were hoping to meet Mr. Wendell.) (Unrelated note: Arrested Development was the first CD I ever bought. Take me to another place/ Take me to another land/ Make me forget all that hurts me/ Let me understand your plan)
So why didn’t I go? Good question. I had to work, to satisfy the Man and his hold over me.
Actually, I couldn’t get any coworkers to switch weekends with me, so I stayed here and she spent the weekend on a houseboat with jet skis and tubing while I’ll watched Animal House, Walk the Line and Big Brother.
The highlight of my weekend (aside from Big Brother, more on that below), was going to see Josh preach at his new church. While he did a fine job preaching, the more exciting news was that I (and the other guy with me, whose wife was also gone . . . though she’s in Cuba for a month) was mistaken for a college student. And not just once, but a few times.
Apparently I can still pass as a Georgia Southern student, even though I haven’t been a student there since December, 2001. Yes Dear will be happy to know that she’s married to someone who looks like they could be getting ready to take Intro to Psych.
Take that aging process.

antasy Update: Selma Hayek recently announced that she’s not unbelievably wealthy as a result of her movie career. That is fantastic news because now all those guys who were only after her for her money and not her fantastic body will leave her alone, dramatically increasing the odds I have of dating her. In other fantasy news, the Fighting Squirrels had a week to write a blog update about, going 12-4 in one league to remain in first place by eight games and going 10-3-2 to close to within a half-game of fifth place and only four games out of second place.
Fantasy Corollary: Fantasy football starts soon, making the months of August and September a difficult fantasy period due to juggling baseball and football leagues. I’m expecting my work performance, marriage and overall general well being to all suffer during the next two months. But on the plus side, there’s a chance I could win bragging rights for a year over my friends.
Big Brother Update: Yes friends, it’s back. The show that has no redeeming qualities and no educational value that I spend three hours a week watching has returned. This year is an “all-star” competition with players from previous seasons returning for a second chance at the $500,000 prize. James, the guy from Georgia Southern is back, as is Kayser, America’s favorite Muslim. Janelle and Erika are also back, meaning I’ll keep watching this season. I’ve been happy with how things have played out so far.
Vacation update: Yes Dear and I are heading to Jekyll Island, Ga. Wednesday to celebrate our three-year anniversary. Unfortunately, due to her work, we are having to celebrate a week early, so if something happens in the intervening week, I’ll always know that this trip will be a lie. Fortunately, I don’t plan on anything happening, so we’re good.
Cubs Update: We stink.
Next posting: Probably Friday (when I get back.)
