Today

Monday 30 September 2002

As a service to the household, I cleaned out hair from the shower drains as Lisa prepared food and Julie came home and we walked the dog while Julie practiced piano, and we picked up Hannah at school and took Julie to her paino lesson at Rhodes College during which Hannah Bannannah and I trekked over to the cafeteria type thing and munched hot dogs & french fries (her) and onion rings & orange-cream frozen yogurt (me). I walked in barefoot. I kept expecting to be kicked out, but was not.

By the time we were done eating, Julie and Lisa walked over after the piano lesson and we all chatted. Hannah and I started a King of the Wall game, on the 15 inch wide, 2.5 foot tall wall around the courtyard of the cafeteria. I could (not entirely easily or safely) beat her every time just with my bigger size, so we played Phat Pat's whoever-moves-their-feet-first-loses game, where each player can only touch the other player's hands. We were much more evenly matched at that, and had to spice it up with ninja sound effects and psych-out starts: "ready... go!" and both pull our hands away to make the other fall forward. That never worked, but we sure did try it a lot.

Watched the sun go down behind the trees, while sharing a slurpee with Julie, then I tried to get mono by eating the rest of Hannah's ice cream, got some frozen yogurt for Addie, we did cartwheels on the way back to the car. Cartwheels and round offs. I did a couple of cartwheels while holding my computer in one hand. I like how light and durable it is. What a wonderful great day!

Just hugged and said bye to Hannah, Addie, Julie, who are at their dad's house for the night; I'm leaving the big city of Memphis in the AM. Tonight Lisa and I are going to watch the second episode of Southpark on Volume 10

10:33pm

After dropping off the kids at their dad's, Lisa and I went to get Pulp Fiction and I told her no fewer than 8 eight of my long jokes (very short versions with lots of "blah blah blahs") and even told a couple while we were in Hollywood Video and the woman was registering Lisas's account since they were the only one that had Pulp Fiction (Two different Blockbuster's did not) and we got ice cream and she got me an apple and baby carrots for my trip (for which I'm super thankful) and um, oh we got home and ate ice cream and watched the second episode of Southpark on Volume 10 and are ready to watch Pulp Fiction now.
