(we're all about bandwagons…)
Berck got me a present today. It’s a cool, black keyboard. It’s also very quiet. I always feel self conscious typing on a loud keyboard…all my backspaces are clearly audible. But this new keyboard is completely silent. I love it!
Berck, on the other hand, prefers really loud keyboards. I’ve never really understood why.

I think I bought the ugliest shoes in the entire store today.
My New Balance tennis shoes have served me well, but after a year of warehouse work, they’re now falling apart. The assistant puller team leader was sporting some newish white New Balances today, so I asked her where she got them. She lives in Moore, right up the interstate from Norman. So I stopped at the store on my way home today. They had a pretty good selection and what looked like good prices. The only shoes in my price range that fit were these ugly silver and white running shoes with blue and pink stripes.
I was sure to ask about their return policy.
Joanna bought some absolutely horrifyingly ugly shoes today. They’re pink.
On Tuesday last week, my brother Ben was driving by the mall and got a hankering for Chick-fil-a. So he parked and went in, only to realize that Chick-fil-a was on the other side of the mall. But the Verizon store was right there, so he went in to see about getting some equipment for his phone. Which they didn’t have, but the salesman talked Ben into taking home two new phones.
What does a boy do with two new mobile phones? He gives one of them to his mother…who, mind you, already has a perfectly good phone of her own. Mom called us on her new phone that evening…before nine because it’s Verizon and it’s free. Mom had been thinking about switching to Verizon anyway. They have the best service, and she can talk to us unlimitedly. “Plus,” she added, “we could add you to our plan if you ever need to.” So she decided to use it for the two week risk-free trial. She put Dad on the phone with me, who said something about Ben getting suckered. What does a boy do with two new mobile phones?
The next evening, we discovered our phone service was cancelled.
Berck sent an e-mail to Mom and Ben. Mom overnighted one of the phones to us that morning. You can’t get service much faster than that.
Since Verizon doesn’t have any stores in Oklahoma, Berck mailed his phone to Ben, who is going to get it switched over to his account. And we’ll have 251 area codes, so anyone in Mobile can call us for free.
But only on weekends and nights after nine, of course.
