4 Things...
1) IT'S A BOY
My good friends Pat & Laura had a baby on Friday. His name is Daxton James Lee and he's super cute. Pat is very much into hiking, rock climbing, falling out of trees - stuff like that - so with a name like Dax, you just know their little boy is going to be into professional extreme sports in about 15 years!
2) LEST WE FORGET
That's the name of my nephew's garage band. I saw them play in Vancouver on Friday night at a Battle of the Bands, and they rocked pretty good. First time I had ever seen a "scream-o" band. And yes, they scream a bit. Kinda reminded me of 80's metal, but these three guys were 16 years old, didn't have long hair and makeup, and wore t-shirts and hoodies. Remember the name, Lest We Forget, or else you might not remember them and then just forget all about them completely or something.
3) EAR WAX SMELLING BIRD FLIPPER
Okay, it was completely innocent, but it had me rolling on the floor. I was playing games with my daughter before bed the other night and she asks me to smell her finger. She says, "Daddy, I've been itching my ear and my finger smells funny." The really funny thing is that she had been using her middle finger and she held it up for me to smell. That was the ONLY finger she held up for me to smell! I felt so bad for laughing because she didn't have a clue why I would react that way. And no, I didn't smell her finger.
4) FAKE COUNTERFEIT $10
That means it's real. Has anyone else had the unnerving experience of having your ten dollar bill scrutinized carefully under black light? Normally that would not be a big deal to me. But having it done at the mall A&W, for an absurd length of time (like 20 seconds), by a kid who probably wouldn't know a Canadian ten from a Monopoly ten, was a tad embarrassing. And it wasn't like I was trying to pass off a hundred. Everything okay, Sherlock? Can I get my Chubby Chicken burger now?
Unfortunately, I'm currently writing this email from prison....
