Well this weekend was freezing. Here in Texas our official winter lasts from January to March. Growing up in Alaska I always used to think winter lasted from October to April. I guess it depends on which part of the country you are in. This weekend Holly and I went to a party at Mr.T's house and on Saturday we went to a baby shower. I had to go into Babies R Us to get the gift. The place is like the Wal-Mart for babies. I am glad I don't have kids as of now because I'd spend all day there. Holly and I did work out some details of our new life together. For those who want to know she is going to live at my house instead of me living with her and her mom in Red Oak. I've been going through some marriage books getting some good general advice on how to do things. Really I never grew up with a "happy marriage" so I need to learn what one is so that we can have one. I get different advice from everyone I talk to. We do have to take a "before you say I do" class at the church. That should give us a lot of info. Anyways, I spent the holiday (MLK) swimming at the gym and working on my company. I've lost 4 pounds since January 1st. Woot.

Thought of the Day
"I had a very interesting lunch with George Costanza today."
"Really?"
"We were talking about our lives, and we both kind of realized we're kids. We're not men."
"So then you asked yourselves, 'Isn't there something more to life?'"
"Yes, we did."
"Yeah, well let me clue you in on something... There isn't."
"There isn't?"
"Absolutely not. I mean, what are you thinking about, Jerry, marriage? Family? They're prisons! Man-made prisons. You're doing time. You get up in the morning, she's there. You go to sleep at night, she's there. It's like you gotta ask permission to use the bathroom. 'Is it alright if I use the bathroom now?!' And you can forget about watching TV while you're eating."
"I can?"
"Oh yeah. You know why? Because it's dinnertime, and you know what you do at dinner?"
"What?"
"You talk about your day. 'How was your day today? Did you have a good day today or a bad day today? Well, what kind of day was it? Well, I don't know, how about you, how was your day?'"
"Boy."
"It's sad, Jerry. It's a sad state of affairs."
"I'm glad we had this talk."
"Oh, you have no idea."
