Recipe: Bagel sandwich
I got a card last month that lets me get a free bagel pack (13 bagels + 2 tubs of cream cheese) every month from Panera for the next year.

Words of wisdom, beer, and friends
I’ve been saying this a lot since Matt got Duke: Two dogs is a lifestyle. One dog is a pet, but two is a lifestyle. We’ve been spending way more time at the dog park these past two months, and our usual spot in Decatur is getting a little stale.   Today we hit up Piedmont Park with Cole, Amy, and their lab puppy Indy (as in Indiana Jones, not as in indie music). Matt took the pups...

I’m making myself cry by compiling potential father-daughter dance songs. I’d unsubscribe now if I were you, guys. It’s not going to get better, only worse. And there’s a year of this to come.

She wanted to visit some of her connections in east Tennessee and she was seizing at every chance to change Bailey’s mind. Bailey was the son she lived with, her only boy.

House Hunting
Me: I was calling to speak to XYZ about the house at 123 Road. I was wondering if it would be possible for me to see the house this weekend.
Woman: I can help you with that.
Me: Great, when can I see it?
Woman: I should advise you that it’s already been leased.
Me: Then I guess there’s no reason for me to see it. Thanks for your help.

Should I be concerned that the kennel can keep...
Should I be boarding him somewhere nicer? This is my backwards way of saying that I’m going to Ireland and Scotland tomorrow with Mom and Dad to visit Ben for two weeks.
