EATING OUT WITH BRENDA AND JIM IV

How I love living with the genius -- he really makes me laugh! Last night we were having dinner with Brenda and Jim IV (Laurie and the kids are out of town). We had a great time discussing all sorts of topics, one of which was movies.

Jim IV had brought over the Bourne series to watch and for three nights straight, we had watched them. Lots of mystery and action, and we were telling Brenda about it. She hadn't seen the movies, only read the books. We talked about how sometimes it got a little frantic with all the car chases, fighting, etc. Then the genius with a very straight face said, "I think all the noise and action really upset Rufus."

The three of us burst out laughing and he kept insisting, "No, I mean it, his personality changed; he just didn't act like himself."

Brenda gasped, "I can hardly wait to tell Ashley!"

We had barely recovered from that little episode when the genius announces, "I heard a song today, and I'm sure you all have heard it. But I never had, and it was the strangest song. I was riding the indoor bike at the rec center when it came on: 'Who Let the Dogs Out' must have been the title." We all started laughing all over again, and one of us started singing right there in the restaurant and the rest joined in, "Who let the dogs out, WHO... WHO-WHO."

He said, "YES, that's IT! What's the purpose of that song?" We all agreed it was a silly one.

I'm surprised the restaurant manager didn't come over and tell us to calm down, which has happened to us before (Remember, sisters?),

We had a great time, needless to say.
