The Daily Derenger

My friend Sue and I were out last night. She was trying to describe a friend of hers to me, a guy she thought I might know. "He's a few years older than us," she began. "And he's bald." That's where the description ceased. I guess just because I'm a bald guy I'm suppose to know every bald guy out there. Like we all run together and shave our heads at the same place.

Does Mr. Barnes or Mr. Noble know that if they got rid of the comfy chairs, I may actually buy something there? Until then, I will simply visit on a daily basis and get my read on for free while also checking the cushions for loose change.

While in Iowa last week, a lady came into the library with her newborn twins. She was the sister of one of the employees. All the ladies gathered around and adored the little boys named Jayson and Vayson. Yep. That's right, one letter off. The mother picked Jayson and the father had the other selection. Leave it to an Iowa farmer to be so creative. For the rest of the twins' lives, whenever they're in he same general vicinity, all you'll hear is, "Sorry. I thought you were calling me."

I watched a Disney movie yesterday. I don't know which one it was, though. I couldn't keep up with the SUV.

A Rest Area was closed along a highway. How much 'closed-worthy' stuff is at a rest area in the first place? And what kinda shape can a rest area be in that it's closed? It's a funny concept but I may be too tired to expand on it. Seriously. And after all, I wasn't able to rest when I needed to.

I'm writing this next to my Web master, Matt, at his new house. He's living in Iowa with his wife, Michelle, and 18-month-old son , Anthony. I bought my Prizm from Matt back in early 2001, or 104,000 miles ago. Michelle cooked dinner last night and Matt made me an omelete this morning. See, life on the road lets me reunite with some great friends and eat all their food. The only rule I have here is to promise I won't jack off within the walls of their home. Man it was cold last night in the Prizm.
