Good morning crew,

What have I gotten myself into this time? I have trouble saying 'no'. That's my problem.

Tonight I promised old Mason that the wife and I would meet him and his wife out for dinner. Of course, since he moved I have to drive half way to Wisconsin just so we can have a bite and a drink together, so it will probably turn into a late night.

Saturday morning I have to be up early to assist in promotion testing at the taekwondo school. Then I have to race home, change, and drive out to some remote suburb to attend a wedding. And that will almost certainly turn into a late night.

Sunday is the annual Caribbean Fest here in my little suburb. The wife and I have been coming to this fest for years, but this is the first year we actually live in the neighborhood. We're six blocks away, so it's not like we are going to skip it. And since the wife has invited practically everybody she knows to meet us there for a drink, Sunday is going to be a long day, too.

Hopefully I will be able to find an hour or two somewhere in the weekend for a shower and a shave.

If anything it will make for some interesting stories next week.

Laugh it up,

Joe

As the lone female in our house, I find that certain male habits have really begun to get on my nerves. One day, I emerged from the bathroom completely exasperated when I bumped into my husband.

"What is it with guys that they won't replace the toilet paper?!" I raged.

"I know," he said, nodding in agreement. "I noticed that when I was in there earlier."

A man picks up his golf-indifferent girlfriend after he has come from the links. While he's driving the tees in his pocket fall out. His girlfriend asks, "Harry, what are those things that just fell out of your pockets?"

"Oh, those are called tees. I put my balls on them when I'm driving."

"Oh, well. Ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer."
