Michael said they’d leave the game early if it was a blowout. 49-7 at halftime. Well, I guess I might not have to eat Subway from across the street for dinner after all.

I’ve been reading, here and there for the past month or so, about this group. It is "Catholic" and claims identity as a sort of new movement with official recognition forthcoming, but it is widely perceived as a cult.

Here in the hotel. Did you know the hotel shampoo bottles are the perfect size for a 10-month old to hold triumphantly in his hand as he lurches around a room. (and fyi, he can lurch. He can walk across the whole room now)? Why does holding the shampoo bottle make the lurching experience so…
