Caps vs. Avs
January 9th. Be there. Yes?
Hello China!
I enjoy the fact that linkeroos wasn’t translatable.
Shark bites, Cyborgs, and Pants
Last night, I learned from a NPR article the hard hitting issues Dallas is dealing with these days. This is the newest and biggest in public awareness campaigns: I know after seeing that you’ll want to donate your time and money to the campaign since apparently in Dallas, asses are the cause of more deaths than murder, drugs, shark bites, and cancer combined! I just adore this quote:...
Small Challenges
Yesterday, the House of Payne went on a little family fun adventure to the Ashland Berry Farm. Once there we rode the hay ride amongst all the young married couples with their first children to harvest our loot. We chose the Ashland Berry Farm because we could get as many pumpkins as we could carry for $20, and since we had Joshy Robots, we figured we could get at least 15. Once we were in the...
I Miss -
Portuguese bean soup and sweet bread together. I had some sweet bread for dinner tonight but it just wasn’t the same without the soup. I miss the homeland.

I Sincerely Dislike

I'm Glad Someone Got Around To It
In college, Caits and I saw a craigslist posting looking for people to be greeting card writers. We always thought it would be great to create useless cards for people. For example, “I’m sorry I ran over your cat. Twice” or “You’re right, Mac and Cheese isn’t a nutritious dinner.” Today, I was introduced to a delightful version of what we only imagined our...
Yummies
I was at the grocery store the other day and wandered aimlessly through the Halloween candy section. It got me thinking about one of my forgotten favorite candies: Lifesaver Swirl Pops. They come in blueberry/vanilla, strawberry/banana, cherry/vanilla, and orange/vanilla. When I used to work my tourist job back home we would get the bulk boxes of them. When we would get them in I’d sort...
