Last night I went to Jbabe's house to watch The Amazing Race.  First of all, Ray?  Gretchen and Meredith beat you.  Ha!  I guess they don't belong in the Race with you.  Also, Rob and Amber?  It would have been decent of you to at least stop to ask if the brothers and their crew were OK after the accident.  You know, like everyone else did.  I am willing to forgive you the quitting, the bribing bus drivers to only open on door, and the overall smugness, but this?  Not so much.  My favorite teams right now are Brian & Greg and Uchenna & Joyce.

While I was sampling yesterday, I backed into a blackberry brier.  I thought I was OK, but while watching the race, I found a brier stuck in my left arm.  Since it was in a position where it would have been extremely difficult for me to remove, Jbabe said, "Do you want me to get it?"  Took about 20 minutes, but she got it out.  Not everyone would do that for me.

Today, I promise to stay away from the blackberry patch.
