Neither of you are helping my headache. :) _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

Um, a little credit here. I didn't say "Gee, I hope my joke made your night better." It was the smile that INFERRED it. Jeez. _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

Every time I see a launch, I get chills. Awesome. Imagine, though... 36 seconds into flight, and it was at 3.5 miles altitude. How easy would that be? Helmets on for takeoff, ah, keep em on. Time to get out. :D _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

Wait until you're telling a joke in front of 30 people, you hunch over, your voice goes down an octave, and you go into "story" mode. And then someone says, "Dude, you're totally channeling your dad." Yeah. That's sobering. What'd Mark Twain say? "At 15, I couldn't believe how much my parents didn't know. At 25, I was amazed how much they'd learned?" _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

That's the funniest fucking line I've heard all day. _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

The scene: Dinner, nice Japanese fusion place downtown. 2nd date. She tells a story about how she was in Vienna once, and how she felt so awed walking down the same streets Motzart and Beethoven once walked down. He agrees, tells a story about the time he was in Vienna and the awe he felt, as well. He then launches into a story about how Beethoven never received a proper burial, and how he was just put in a box in the ground because he had no money for a proper funeral, and how a hundred years or so later, a bunch of Beethoven fanatics decided to dig him up to give him the proper burial he never had, and how when they did, they were shocked to find him sitting up in his pine coffin, erasing all his music. "Beethoven, what are you doing," they asked. "Why, it's obvious," Beethoven replied. "I'm decomposing!" He smiles, a genuine smile that said "I hope that somehow my corny joke made your night better." She replies with "That was a joke? You know, people who have to tell corny jokes like that usually need to be the center of attention, and are unable to simply be, and I kind of feel like it was insulting to my story and for my memory of Vienna for you to counter by telling a joke like that. I really feel like jokes like that are insulting to the people forced to listen to them." The night suffers on, and can't end quick enough. He's amazed, because the first date seemed really, really fun. They seemed to click. There obviously won't be a third date. Holding no ill-will towards her, and accepting that sometimes, people just don't connect, or are just that different, he asks, was he so out of line? Is having a good sense of humor, and having the ability to be a good story-teller, a good humorist, no longer considered to be worthy traits in a potential mate? And if so, when did that happen, and how did he manage to not get the memo? It's like that line from "Demolition Man," when Sylvester Stallone is told by Sandra Bullock that kissing is no longer legal. "Damn," Stallone says. "I was a really good kisser!" Damn, indeed, he says. He's a really good story-teller, with a great sense of humor. Is that no longer worth anything? _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?"

Because I'm gonna be on a plane tomorrow for work, (oh, joy, another business trip, another missed holiday, feh) let me just say now, Happy 4th, to everyone. Stay safe, and thank someone whose job it is to protect you. A cop, a member of the armed forces, whomever. Someone sent this to me - Was a nice touch. http://www.jacquielawson.com/viewcard.asp?code=AB45086266 Happy 4th! Stay safe! Edited to add a Happy Tuesday to our DZ friends who don't live in America.

One of the beautiful things about living in NYC is that the stuff you country people take for granted is always an amazing experience for us. Like a sunset in a rainshower on a hot, steamy night. I swear, a hundred of us just stood on 23rd St., in the middle of the street, stopping traffic, to watch this. My camera-phone doesn't do it anywhere NEAR the justice it deserved. It was truly awe-inspiring. _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."
