so an angel, a devil, and a jew went putt-putting...

tonight i hung out with matt and ethan. ethan is five and incredibly strong willed and loud. he and matt are very fond of each other... at one point they were discussing sports and matt wanted to know if ethan liked the yankees or boston. ethan said he liked the yankees as long as they weren't playing the cubs. here is an excerpt from their conversation:
matt: "i'll tell you what, ethan... if i had to put money on tonight's game, i'd put it on the yankees."
ethan: "i'd buy shoes."

have you ever felt left out when your friends have "their people" and you don't? one of my friends would always mention that he was going to talk to "his jeweler" or ask "his concierge" to get us reservations. another friend is always talking to " his accountant" or "his lawyer". i've decided that i have them beat and from now on when someone says they will get back to me after checking with "their assistant" i'll tell them that they'll hear back from me after i talk to "my jew." i have one on retainer.

i told george that the only time i could meet with him today was at 8:30. he told me that wouldn't work cause he had bowling league then. apparently my being worth six grand doesn't rate above bowling. yes, i met him at the bowling alley...
