I AIN'T SAYIN' HE'S A MOVE STEALER ...

OK, listen. I can't really stand by and take this anymore.

Kanye West totally stole my dance moves.

Oh yes! It's true. Have you seen Kanye dance? Have you seen me dance? Oh. Probably only like two people on the planet can say yes to both. I'm sad for you other folks, who don't know how sick my dance moves are. But just watch Kanye and you get a pretty good idea.

Except it's even better when I do it, because I invented those moves.

It's cool, Kanye. We ain't beefin'. But if you ever want to share some bling, just as thanks for the killer moves, I won't say no.

SPONTANEITY

Sometimes you wake up in the morning, and you feel like going to the beach.

And sometimes, that's just what you do.

It also happens to be our fourth anniversary. We knew we wanted to do something outside, and we knew that we have no money. So we were going to go to a state park, maybe look at a lake that's normally pretty but now is dried up and icky thanks to "exceptional" drought in these here parts. So Geoffrey had the bright idea, around noon, of "hey, let's go to the beach." And we laughed. And then we realized the beach is only a couple hours away by car, so what the hey. You'll recall this is also how we happened to move to Japan. Joke + thinking it over = it happens.

It was a great day. We headed to Wrightsville Beach, found a public beach right away, walked in the surf and got my new car all sandy. Then we headed to a seafood restaurant right on the beach (thanks to the recommendation of HickoryWind.org Larry, our friend, neighbor and life coach) and gorged ourselves. Then we drove home and now we're parked in front of the TV.

Ah, romance.
