  • Okay so it was a long day working today on the house. And after we were all done we went to my mom’s house to chow down on some Thai food and watch some travel channel. Bill flipped it to a program about the Colorado river (to which I constantly yelled at the TV, lies, all LIES!). In between these outbursts Bj and I were reminiscing about our 10,548 mile trip around the United States, in which we crossed the Colorado no less than five times. They mentioned Glen Canyon Dam and Bj was all, "Oh hey, that’s right where we swam." I was like, "Ya, well, but actually behind the dam." "No," Bj said, "In front of the dam." "I’m sorry sweetie, but I think you’re going mental, it was behind the dam." "Do you want to bet?" "Yes I do, I’ll bet you a hundred bucks."

    We think maybe she’s going to be a redhead, it’s hard to tell, she doesn’t really have much hair at the moment. Anyway I spent the day hanging out with the girls, working on the (secret) bathroom, and hanging out with the Comcast guy. Now, just have to figure out how to set up the TiVo.
