My friend and I were talking about life last night. She has 4 things she now looks for in a future husband, and they all happen to begin with the letter "c" - in this order - Christian; Children; Cash; Camping. Yep. Camping. Of all the great qualities and positive things that begin with "c," she has camping as number 4. Not companionship, cuddling, or even a comedian, but camping. Right, because there is SO much Chicagoland camping done in December and January.

I was back at mom's today. She's made another curbside shopping purchase. Just inside the front door, facing you as you walk in, sit 3 small church peus. They are perhaps the most uncomfortable seats in history and sit just below a huge cross of Jesus and near an old church altar turned laundry-folding table. Give her time and you'll be able to baptize your kids in the kitchen.

I'm considering putting comedy on hold and finishing school. I'm 28 and could conceivably get most of it paid for by Uncle Sam. The 8 years off since I was last in college will surely show, though. However, what's something a 20-year-old brunette tutor named Brandi can't re-teach me? At least the journal about the experience would be something worth reading.
