Sex Change, Gingivitis

How'd the big speech go on Saturday? Well, strikes and gutters, ups and downs, to quote a wise man. There was a percentage of the audience who had no idea what I was talking about, a percentage that was really into what I was talking about, and a percentage there for the free box lunch. I had a good time and I learned a valuable lesson: stop doing stuff like that for free.

The other day, I got it into my head that I needed to start posing a weekly challege for me and Laura. These challenges wouldn't be impossible, like holding your bladder for a week, but fun little contests. Our first, which started on Saturday, was for each one of us to watch less than 3 hours of TV for the whole week. So far, she's at an hour and I'm at an hour and a half (Sopranos, 10 minutes of Giants-Phillies last night, How I Met Your Mother).

I think I can cruise until Saturday with time left on my clock. I'm not so sure about her, though. I fully expect to come home from work later this week and find her watching Mama's Family reruns in a delirious haze. (I should note there's no penalty for flunking a weekly challenge, except that I get to dump all of her underwear onto the highway.)

I have a little medical procedure Friday afternoon, and it requires a good amount of medicine afterwards. I went and filled my prescriptions today; there were 6 of them. The pharmacist probably thinks I'm getting a sex change. Actually, one of the prescriptions is for special mouthwash, which probably doesn't factor into a transgender operation. So, he probably thinks that I have gingivitis and I'm getting a sex change.

I already dumped all of Laura's underwear on Central Expressway. You'll have to come up with something better than that!! Don't try to kid her later about it - she doesn't remember huge Goodwill bras with tire tracks on them.
