"G.S."

Nicole and I spent almost the whole weekend sitting on her livingroom floor addressing and stuffing envelopes. Now we're all done and boy am I tired.

After we finished we went to Tombstone and bought a western style "Tombstone, AZ" thermometer for my apartment balcony so we can see what temperature it is outside. We ate lunch at a little place on a Tombstone side street and I drank a sasparilla. All the men inside were packing heat.

At some point during the weekend we watched "Munich" and it was very good. Shoulda seen it on the big screen when it came out, but we tried.

Monday we stopped by Nicole's classroom and I met her class of first graders. We gave them cookies and San Diego postcards (dolphins, killer whales).

The next time I go to Arizona I'm showing up in a plane and leaving in a U-Haul.

Nicole said that last night she dreamt that she went to a doctor's appointment. He told her that she was pregnant. "But that's impossible," she said, "And besides, I've started taking birth control." The doctor told her that sometimes birth control pills cause pregnancy all by themselves.

She looked at the doctor's chart and her report had "G.S." noted on it.

"What does G.S. mean?" she asked the doctor. He said that it meant, "Get some Sweatpants." Because pregnant people gain tons of weight and they have to wear sweatpants.

"Some people gain 100 pounds when they get pregnant," said the doctor. Get some sweatpants.
