The guy in front of me, whose blue shoulder is in the left here, leaned over to ask orange hat guy a question. I couldn't hear it, but orange hat guy replied, "I don't know... Stewardee? Fudgie patrol?" So, I'm guessing this coversation was in reference to the two male stewardesses.

the jet blue ramp has the same garbage bin as my house.

I just bought one of these bad boys for 40 bucks at home depot.

4 am - going to airport now

Wearing my suit on the plane because carrying a suit in a bag is a pain.

Two guys in white shoes

I think it would be interesting if someone came up with some kind of 'style map' showing the connections between styles and clothing habits.. White sneakers wearers are probably more likely to wear their hats backward or to the side. Suspenders wearers are probably more likely to own a plaid blazer.

Painting from book I bought today

Me: Here's one that Uncle Dave did a study of.

Dad: Yeah. It's in our bedroom actually. William Merritt Chase?

Me: Yeah.

They have 'solar shield.' I think as you get older your sunglasses literally grow outward from the edges, covering more of the side of your head with each year.

Looking for the peanuts

Dad: Should we let him keep the Tivoli radio honey?

Mom: If he'll use it.

Me: I think you guys should keep it if you'll use it.

Dad: We got it for the new bathroom, to match the clock we got since that lady from church overslept.

Me: What happened?

Mom: She didn't use a watch and she was late for her solo in the choir, and I was trying to get her to go but the clock on the thermostat was 40 minutes behind in the choir room, so I thought it would be nice to have a clock in the bathroom, in case we ever had guests. I gave her one of my watches.

Dad: She was a little wacko anyway because she had a kid without getting married and never got a job and she home schooled him.

Mom: She was actually famous in Canada for lobbying for home schooling and doing radio interviews about it.

Dad: How did she find out about our church? Kofi Annan?

Mom: That wasn't his name.

Dad: Who was that African guy? Boatung?

Mom: That's wasn't it.

Dad: Where are the peanuts?

Mom: Are they back here?

Dad: Do we have to take the exit for Kennebunkport?

Mom: No. Why are you holding your hand like that?

Dad: I'm waiting for the peanuts.

Dad: You ever have Popeye chicken?

Me: Yeah.

Dad: Hot huh?

Clouds reflected in the dc

During a piano concerto on the radio...



Dad: Did Andre Watts ever win a Cliburn honey?

Mom: Not that I know of.

Me: What's a Clibern?

(silence)

Me: Dad, what's a Clibern?

Dad: A contest.

Classical radio announcer: Up next is Frans Liszt...

Dad: Ah, Frank used to hate Liszt. He called him the Half-shod Hungarian.

Me: Who's Frank?

Dad: Frank Walsh. A tax accountant I used to work with.

Painting by Caillebotte

Mom: This part of the book is about Edgar Allen Poe. Lawrence says that he was 'preoccupied with the disintegration of his own psyche.'
