I guess there's one pressing matter I would like to discuss, but I need to begin this post by saying that this is not our 100th post. In celebration of that fact, I am doing laundry.
And wearing dark blue boxers.
Daulton.
It's spelled Daulton. Weird right?
Well, it gets weirder. You see, Daulton, this kid doing his mandatory volunteer work/community service for dealing drugs. He's Anna's cousin.
Well, to be precise, he is Anna's first cousin once removed. Daulton's grandfather is Anna's uncle. His father is thus Anna's first cousin. Therefore Daulton is her first cousin once removed (I had to look this up on Wikipedia to clarify how this stuff works. Who knew?).
I had no idea of this connection until Anna came over to the office today to bring us something to drink. She walked in there, took one look at Daulton, and declared, "you're TJ's son." Daulton looked horrified, but after Anna explained the connection, he actually gave her a big hug. I guess I've actually met the kid before at Anna's families' Christmas get-togethers. There was something about him that seemed familiar.
So yeah, that's weird. I guess it just makes it all the more sad to us that he's in trouble like he is because we are now aware of all the connections and the problems within his family.
Anna hopes I can do the kid some good. I hope so too. I certainly don't want to do him any harm.
Apparently, he really loves to fish. I told him we'd take him over to "Aunt Karen's" to go fishing sometime. I think he'd have fun.
In unrelated news, I went to Wal-Mart late last night to pick up some 7up for Anna because she had an upset stomach, and while I was there, I discovered that they again had AriZona pomegranate green tea. I bought all five bottles. You have no idea how happy this made me.
What else should I write about in this, our not 100th post?
The Rockies won today.
The Broncos will never win a game again.
Project 86 is close to announcing new fall tour plans, are currently working on a music video, and Andrew has a book coming this fall.
Living Sacrifice finally announced an official release date of their new record (a year late).
I miss my friends.
Anna misses her friends.
We have a spare bedroom. Our friends should come visit.
See you in post 99 and all posts thereafter.
1. I, too, love AriZona Pomagranate Green Tea. Even though I don't know how to spell pomagranate. But, boo-yah on the sale. I'm jealous, although I have some in the fridge...
ReplyDelete2. I miss my friends, too.
3. We have a spare bedroom and you should come visit us and we'll go to DISNEYLAND! It will be the bomb-diggity. (2nd ghetto phrase of this comment)
4. That's really awesome about Daulton. Not awesome that someone in your extended family is hurting/in trouble, but awesome that he got placed in your life so you can be part of his. God is good, huh?
