Well, I'll ask him, but I don't think he'll be very keen.
It's cold outside. Cold in Houston, Texas. It was cold yesterday and it was awesome. It was cold this morning and it was still awesome. It was cold enough last night to play Scrabble outside on our patio, which Amy and I did (an idea crazy in concept but awesome in execution). Amy thought it was colder than I did because she broke out the whole coat, gloves, scarf, and toboggan ensemble. A long sleeve shirt does the trick for me. Anyhow, Texas cold is awesome and I hope it doesn't get back up to the high 80s in a few days. If it's this cold on Thanksgiving I will turn my first ever backflip.
Jews for Jesus are on the prowl. They've been staking out the tunnels since the beginning of last week. Each day they've got a different flyer to hand out, and if I get lunch anywhere but Subway I've got to pass through 3 different tunnel sections each with 2 separate flyer-hander-outers. That's 6 total. Well, 12 actually, because I've gotta pass the same 6 on my way back. I generally think Mitch Hedberg said it best-"When someone hands me a flyer, it's like they're saying, 'Here, you throw this away.' " But with these guys I snatch the first one they offer me and hang on to it. That way, when I reach the next flyer dude, I hold up the flyer in true Thanks-Buddy-I-already-got-one style. ("I told them we already got one.") I see it as holding up a crucifix to ward off a vampire, which is actually not much the same considering their intent, but whatever. Some points of interest about these flyers, they refer to Jesus as "Y'shua" and then put "(Jesus)" - so why don't they call themselves Jews for Y'shua? I bet it's because they have a website (www.jewsforjesus.org) and you can't have an apostrophe in a web address. Also, one of the flyers compared the Son of God to a duck.
As you've probably noticed, I've returned to the original color scheme. W's victory signaled the end of my mourning period. The mourning was originally only to last for a few days, but then Baylor beat A&M and I had to extend it.
It seems like I had something else I wanted to mention... but I don't know what it was. Well, if it returns to mind I will return to this post in a blaze of glory.

Jeremy!? Don't be so modest. Everyone, in our Scrabble match, Jeremy made 107 points off the word "jealousy"! Yowser!
Oh, and BY THE WAY, I think 48 degree weather is reason enough for me to get bundled up! And YOU mister.. You were shivering towards the end of the match, but I was quite cozy. Maybe if you weren't so stubborn you would have used the blanky I offered you.
"What is this, Miami Beach? Not hardly."
I didn't want to mention that because I figured you'd remind me that I still managed to lose by 40 points. I don't want people to know that... D'oh.
