Would you think less of me if I told you how much I have been enjoying "The John Tesh Radio Show"? Oh, sing it to me, Rod Stewart, baby!
Man, I wish I lived in an old people's home right now. Lunch at 10 am. Dinner at 4. Yessir! Bingo, idiot children coming in to sing or dance, handrails on everything.
Bridge has been doing lots of impressions of me lately, and the voice she uses for me is that of a dumb, idiot jock/country rube.
Maybe she isn't that far off:
"Poor me. My girlfriend wants to talk to me. Then she'll want to kiss me. I just want to make my lesson plan. I'm Lindy."
The other night, I was reading in bed and I heard her strumming the ol' guitar in the office:
"Hey, what's that? What are you playing?
"Nothing, it's something new."
"Come in here and play it for me."
"No."
"Yes!"
"It's not finished yet; I don't want you to hear it."
"Why? Is it a break-up song?"
"Exactly. It's called 'It's Been Great, But ...'"
"Hey!"
"Well, I want to make sure I have all the words completely right."

BrontoRen was really hoping you would mention head lice checks.
Seriously, she was.
Wow, the head lice checks. That will be the perfect last verse for my song........
.......AND I just can't be your head lice check nurse // Anymore.
Thanks Brontojem!
Please sing that at the Winter English Potluck. Marcia and I can perform a lice check play behind you.
Damn lesson plans...Those kids think we teach English because we're no good at having fun, and they don't realize that it's precisely the opposite. Mighty sweet that she wants the words to be perfect for you, though. ;-)
That Bridgie...when she's right, she's right...which is pretty much most of the time...
yeah, the words to the break-up song to be perfect. She don't want no second-guessing, mahnu!
Oh, Brontos, I totally forgot about the lice nurse! Damn! Mmm ... she's coming my way, with her gloves and her tongue depressor ... oh yeah ...
Bridgie is always, always right.
I forgot to mention that I love the line break in the lice check nurse song.
And do I have to point out that you are incredulous that Bridgie uses a dumb, overhanging upper lip (duuuuhhhhh) voice for you, just after you've confessed you listen to freaking John Tesh?
L., in the lit biz, we call this rhetorical device "irony." But, um, I think it has to be purposeful for you to take credit for it....
Wow. I'm totally giving L. an beating. I sorry, L. It's just that....it's John Tesh....he brings so much pain into the world....
Wait, let me check my office, K., Yup, there it is. My Master's Degree.
I totally dig you all!
We should hang out soon. =)
