An interesting week. Lauren has been sick all week. Our house has been like Rome under Caligula. Lots of ranting and raving and the servants are forced to just obey. She made us pronounce her teddy bear as her successor and top general. She getting a little better now, which is fortunate, because I think that means we won't have to follow through with the gladiatorial games in the kitchen.
Lk kept us both up so much lately that I missed 1 1/4 classes on Thursday. Not that that was such a bad thing, she kept us up the night before, I made it to class Wednesday, and slept right through most of an otherwise engaging discussion of the human bowel. As this is the area of the human body we are studying in earnest right now, I will not mention too much of the laboratory escapades from this week. Its better for you and better for me this way. If you find yourself disappointed or in withdrawals from this lack of explicitness, don't worry, we start the perineum next week.With my cold I have apparently (at least this is what I'm told) started snoring. Subsequently I was summarily sent to the couch the other night. I have been subject to some master log sawers in my day, so I in no way consider this unjust treatment. And we do have a pretty comfy couch, but I do hope it resolves soon (Breath right strips are so 1995).
In truth we each taken turns on the couch. Its not because of Meredith that I was sent to the couch, the snoring just so happened to awaken the beast (Caligula), so it was really better for everyone involved that my snorting was sequestered to the living room. Otherwise LK would simply try to best my own noises with her dog whistles pitched screeching. I'm completely outmatched, I assure you.
I have two recommendations this week. One is "Word Play", an endearing little documentary about the cross word puzzle championship of the world. Oh my goodness, this must be what happens to the kids from "Spellbound" when they grow up. The next suggestion I have is that you look up Helmuth Hubener. (That's Hubener with an umlaut over the u".) If you can find his leaflets, they're pretty astounding. He was a 17 year old german boy that resisted the nazis by tuning into the BBC and putting out leaflets refuting Goebbels progaganda. Really gutsy stuff.
Hmm...Breath Right strips are actually kind of nice....

Well, just be grateful that you guys didn't get rid of the couch when you moved. Now you can tell Meredith, "I told you so." (Which may result in several more nights on the couch, but it will probably be worth it.)
You kept the couch you received as a gift at your wedding reception? That can't be comfortable.

oh no...not that couch! I think a cat died on that couch, it's languishing in my dad's barn. Our couch is a yard sell find.
Have you filled the kitchen with water for the mock naval battle yet?
WOW - can Lauren be any more cute!? BTW - Good job on your tests. I'm glad that your wife will brag about you so we can know how things are going.
Hi Brian my name is Kandice and I found your blog through Dave V. I noticed your interest in Helmuth Hubner, he and two of his friends stood up to the Nazi regime and one of them is still living today Karl Schnibbe he lives in Salt Lake and there is a great documentary on the story called Conviction and Truth. If you ever wanted to borrow it I could give it to Dave. It is so sad, but their story is such good history.
hi there bros. I'm actually into shoes and I was looking for that meticulous model. The prices due to the fact that the boots are around 180 dollars everwhere. But finally I found this area selling them someone is concerned half price. I exceptionally love these [url=http://www.shoesempire.com]prada sneakers[/url]. I will probably purchase those. what can you say about it?
