It's been two months, and we're back.

To my lovely readers, my apologies. I won't even try to explain where we've been, but it's been a crazy couple of months since I last wrote. We were back east for a while, I've been dealing with some personal issues...

...but now we're back. And better than ever. Or about 94%

Chip has started work on his first comp, which means he gets to sit and read for about 46 hours a day. Or, so he says there are in one day, but I tend to think he's just reading for 46 minutes before taking an hour break. 46...hour....46....hour....

That stuff he reads is pretty heavy.

So, lets begin by treading lightly back into the realm of our conversations. Recently, we had a lovely one. After I suggested he check out a new band I came across, he YouTubed them (Cut Copy if anyone cares) and realized the sound is right up his alley. VERY 1980's synth pop. (You can thank me later, Chip).

So on YouTube, someone apparently commented on the video that surprised Chip a bit. The conversation goes as such:

Chip: Someone put on youtube 'I miss the 80's, I was born in 1990's. How can one miss something they never experienced.
Me: What? That makes no sense. I guess it's like saying, "I miss the disco era of the 70's. Roller skates and the BeeGee's. Darn being born in 1980."
Chip: Jeez, I really miss the 1950's Brenda. Those were the good ole times.
Me: I know...McCarthyism and the Cold War....Marilyn Monroe and McDonalds' rise. Stupid birth years screwing up everything. So sad.
Chip: Yeah. I miss the dinosaurs.
Me: I miss the big bang.
Chip: I miss not being an idiot for the past 20 seconds.


Nice. Well said, couldn't have done it better myself.
(I'll still try, though...)
