Let the audiobook/podcast begin.

These were the baseball cards of college for me. A) All my money went to acquiring them. B) They were quite enjoyable for a season. C) Nothing is currently more worthless.

I present to you, the world’s largest bluetooth device. I think Scotch-taping my iPhone to my ear would be less cumbersome.

One point away. I can’t wait to see how much my life improves when I’m carrying the personalized gold card.

Baylor’s first day of preschool. He has no idea that the contents of his lunch can make or break his entire day.¹

This was taken at my local post office. I was so busy staring at the double-T in “WAITT” that I totally missed the second-of-three Es in “PLEAESE”. And six exclamation points? No one should be that passionate about anything.

My post schedule for August. Things don’t always go as planned.

I can’t decide which show to wish on my worst enemy. They both seem like such great candidates.²

In the comments:
1. What was the single greatest lunch item in all your years of schooling?
2. Do you know of a worse show (current or upcoming) than these?

    I'm gonna go with fruit snacks for greatest lunch item. Brand mattered for sure and we RARELY got the cool fruit snacks.
    Fruit by the Foot was one of my top faves. Now, I can't figure out for the life of me why that was.

    Any kind of pseudo-fruit: Fruit Roll-Ups, Fruit by the Foot, or my personal fav, Gushers fruit snacks. I can't believe my mom let me and my sisters subject our bodies to whatever Gushers were made of.

    She did come down pretty strongly anti-Lunchables, though, and I remember those being a pretty hot lunch item for a while. I don't think I was missing much.

    Preschool (even early elementary, for that matter) is still too young to realize that they should just throw out the healthy stuff if they aren't going to eat it.

    When I was a child, I wanted fruit roll-ups in the worst way, but my mom insisted on dehydrating her own fruit but she had no problem throwing a piece of processed cheese (a.k.a plastic) in my sandwich. It's resulted in my being a very conflicted adult with deep inner turmoil.

    Love the snowball mic. I prefer the #3 setting for general podcast-style recording, but it really depends on the room setup. And the thing doubles as a really expensive softball (no joke, it was designed to be the same size as one).

    I have found that using my Snowball to record and then burn important messages to a CD-R as a hand out to parents in our Youth carline has drastically increased the consumption of processed fruit snacks in America, or at least Lutz, FL. But now that kids are getting their 100% RDA of Vitamin C through consuming 5 servings of Shark Bites everyday I wonder how wicked that ever mutating Flu virus will be this season? Maybe we could use that Postal employee to bring everyone's attention to the problem?

    1. I can't remember what it was called, but it was the Pizza Lunchable. Wait….was it called the Pizza Lunchable?

    2. I'm not sure if it's happening or not, but Flashforward season 2. And I'll even predict that Flashforward season 9 would be even worse.
