Greg and I would not do well on the Amazing Race.

I am convinced.

Today Greg took the van to get serviced at a nearby city. 20 or so minutes after he left I received a phone call from him: my dear husband was lost and could not find his way out of the suburbs. Absolutely refusing to get out of the van and to ask someone for directions, he insisted I navigate him out.

Feeling such frenzy, knowing his phone battery was not charged (doh!), I searched for and found the map.

This should be easy... Greg and I are experienced travellers. We drove through and around Germany/France/Luxembourg/Belgium many many times over, not knowing the language, and going by our instincts. Road trips are our bag, really!

He mentioned the streets as he passed them, and I gave him directions on where to go...

T: Ok, now turn right at the next intersection
G: What?
T: Turn right when you get the next intersection
G: Are you sure? I don't think so!
T: Do you trust me? I am reading the map and you need to turn right
G: is that West?
T: Yes
G: Right?
T: Yes! Turn right!
G: Are you sure?
T: Do you have the map? I have the map and you need to do what I say!
G: I did turn right, but I don't think you're right!

Silence

G: oh, oh..now I know where we are...

Gah!

Greg and I decided that when it was time for us to apply the Amazing Race that we would not mention this incident.

Instead we will mention that my iron stomach can handle a few crickets and he is a master historian (good selling points, right)


p.s...he apologized by the way, numerous times, and with treats in hand.

Sure, it's not Dawson's Creek

...but Felicity will do!

I sampled the first disk of the first season via Netflix. I would have to say that its accurately depicted college angst properly got me through the sewing the tail end of a large wholesale order...culminating with 40 dozen wipes.



Don't get me wrong, Noel can never replace Pacey, but I definitly dig Felicity , and dare I say she has the potential of rivaling Joey.

I have promptly moved up the rest of the first season to the top of my queue. Time and sewing will surely tell.
