"I wouldn't wish this indecision on anybody else"

A quick story from Myrtle Beach: My cousins who are 14, 14, and 18 went out with Rogers and I. It dawned on us that seeing a movie might be fun. The kids wanted to see The Wedding Crashers, the raunchy R-rated comedy starring Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson. I want to see it too, but I wasn't comfortable with taking my 14 year-old cousins who were under my supervision.

After about 10 minutes of deliberating and peer pressure, the youngest called his Dad and said we were going to see an R-rated movie that had sexual content in it. He actually said "sexual content." Anyway, his dad said it was okay, but be back by midnight. No problem. However, I still wasn't comfortable with the idea of sitting through the movie with my underaged cousins.

After finally convincing me that they'd seen it all before, I gave into the pressure and we lined up for tickets. The too-young kids in front were turned away by the grandma behind the window. "Your parents have to be with you," she said. So the 18 year old bought a ticket and Rogers was going to buy 2, one for her and one for the youngest cousin.

"How old is he?" asked grandma behind the window.

Rogers, looks around contemplatively. "Sixteen.?." she says.

The cousin throws his arms up in disgust.

"You have to be 17," says the grandma behind the window.

Denied. I like to think Rogers was just playing cool to the cousins, but still siding with me, by not letting them get in.

It's like I've never been gone. Things are getting back to normal. Sharp is back in town after being gone for about 4 months.

I redecorated my room last night after returning home from Myrtle Beach. I added 3 posters, moved 2 posters, and made a Better Than Ezra wall and added about 35 Marilyn Monroe playing cards. Redecorating.

I have a bunch of work going on right now, but that didn't stop me from finding time to order The Wizard starring Fred Savage and Christian Slater off of eBay. My first eBay purchase in a very long while.
