Deathstar Trench

Driving along the I-35 Hillsboro construction is like navigating the Deathstar Trench. Only when you are next to a wind-blown trailer, it is much harder than shooting womp rats back home.

Stuffing vs Dressing

Edwin, the cafateria waiter, asked if we needed anything. I asked for dressing and he gave me an odd look.

"like for the turkey?"

"Yeah, the cornbread dressing..."

After he delivers this bowl of gravy, she says "he meant stuffing."

Edwin must be a Yankee exchange student and probably thinks dressing is just for salads.

Eyes bigger than stomach

The Taiwanese TV won't fit into the Korean car.

Delivery Man at Trailsend

This is how much Trails' End Scout Popcorn is left in my car.

Can't get people to be home during the random times I am in the neighborhood. Can't convince other people to drive my boys around the corner and let them run popcorn up people's driveways.

Smart dumb fun

We went to Pocket Sandwich Theater the other night. The show was Sweeny Todd, one of their melodrama productions.

Anyway, after a while Kathryn looks around the room and says "I bet at least half these people have Master's Degrees. Wow, so this is where smart people go to be stupid."

Of course three days later, she aid we should host a Jack Black a Thon at our house.

A place to call (2nd) home

The scout troop is camping on some private land -- two hours out of DFW with a cabin, land, room enough for field sports, a decent tank...

And a COWGATOR!
