something not for facebook

Victoria's Secret was running a commercial this weekend about their semi-annual sale and that everyone's favorite bras and panties could be found there. I immediately wondered if my former girlfriend would be there, as whatever bra and panties she happens to be wearing at the time are my favorites.

And this, of course, begs that now century old question: why is "bra" singular if "panties" are plural?

14th birthday

My oldest daughter, Samantha, turned 14 today. In keeping with our tradition, I took her out to dinner. All on her own, with no prompting from me, she wanted to go to the Japanese restaurant. I think this is the fourth time we've been there for her birthday now. We got our usual chicken and salmon at the hibachi, and had a nice quiet time out.

I got her one of the Paper Jams Guitars, and she loved it. I was a bit disappointed by the sound, but then I didn't get the amp and it just has a single speaker on it. I got her an acoustic guitar awhile ago, and I'm hoping this will rekindle her interest in picking that back up.
