In retaliation for Ashley sharing the fact that I didn't exactly know where pickles came from, I've decided to share a story about Ashley's feet.
A few weeks ago, Ashley and I were sitting down at my coffee table to enjoy a nice dinner she had prepared. As we were taking our seat on the couch, Ashley chose to sit Native American style (I believe it's highly important to be PC) and place her plate on her lap. With her feet no more than two feet from her face, and with my feet stretched out underneath the table approximately eight feet away from her, she tells me, "you're feet stink."
My feet didn't stink. Ashley's did. I could smell them, and they were bad. They smelled like onions that had been smeared in goose poo.

My co-worker RAD (her real name is Regina but we call her RAD because those are her initials) showed me this video today at work. I thought my econ-savvy friends might enjoy it.
A little background information: Glenn Hubbard is the dean of Columbia Business School (CBS). When Alan Greenspan stepped down as the Fed Chairman, Hubbard was on the short list of replacements along with Ben Bernanke (ultimately named the Fed Chairman). This video was made by Columbia Business School students to show Hubbard's disappointment at being snubbed for the job. Now that you have that info, sit back and enjoy...

Killer Ducks in Dallas
Ashley told me about two ducks that were very hostile towards her on her last visit to the park down by Turtle Creek. She labeled them the "Killer Ducks", citing their persistent aggressiveness towards her. Wanting to see these Killer ducks for myself, I ventured down to Turtle Creek with Ashley last Sunday. Upon first sight, these little ducks seem to be harmless...
As we entered the park, Ashley pointed them out to me. They were suspicious of us at first, and so I tried to convey that we meant no harm (I'm semi-fluent in duck-speak). I was on my way to negotiating a successful peace treaty with the killer ducks, when Ashley opened her big trap. They apparently recognized her voice from the week earlier. They must have still had some pent-up hostility towards her, because at that moment the two harmless-looking ducks morphed into the Killer Ducks - chasing my poor Ashley all over the park, threatening ferocious pokes and nibbles from their extra-scary rounded beaks (ouch!). Fortunately I was able to snap a few photos amongst the chaos...

Confession...
I have the greatest girlfriend in the world. If you think I'm exaggerating, please read on.
This past Saturday was BAD (Boyfriend Appreciation Day), which is a holiday that she made up just so she could spoil me even more than she already does. For starters, on BAD eve, she got me peanut M&Ms (my favorite). For BAD, she took me to play golf in the afternoon. (My little 90's shooter hit some great shots.) After golf, she took me to a great little Italian place called Momo's. The few bites of my meal I was able to eat were delicious - My Ash Potato has a tiny habit of always thinking the food on my plate looks way better than whatever she ordered. Then we went back to her place for dessert and one of my favorite movies (which will remain nameless lest I look like a real pansy).
As you can plainly see, my Ash Potato is simply the best girlfriend there is.
Thank you babe.

A good day
Today was a good day. I played golf in the morning at Southern Oaks with Nicky J. and Drew (Fu). I finally beat Nick. This may not seem like a big accomplishment, but he has beaten me badly the last few times we've played. So today was sweet redemption. After I got back from playing golf, I watched the last few holes of the PGA tournament at Harbor Town. Then, as if my day wasn't already awesome enough, my special girl made my favorite dinner! Rice and bean night was amazing!! I have very bad gas now, but it was worth it... so delicious.
Let's play Name That Tune - Song title and singer:
"My Maserati does one-eighty-five. I lost my license, now I don't drive"

Working on the weekend sucks
I just finished with work... yes, it's 3:45pm on Saturday... and yes, it's a sunny 81 degrees outside. The good news is I'm about to go play frisbee with some girl from my office. She's nice and all, but I'm really just using her for her frisbee and her cooking skills. :)
