Dry Cleaners

I took Anders to the dry cleaners this afternoon as I was running errands. Anders was sleeping by the time he arrived, so out of a dead sleep he flipped the switched and charmed the Vietnamese family running the dry cleaners. He started bellowing out letters. I asked them to watch him as I took my suits to the car and brought in my shirts. Before I knew it, Anders was behind the counter in the arms of the grandmotherly woman running the place pointing and naming letters. She and her son were thoroughly impressed. The man wondered how I got Anders to name all those letters. I didn't have a good explanation, he just kinda picked it up.
I had my first day of orientation today on the movie set. The most intriguing thing I learned about is "Senior Tea." At 1:40 pm from Mon-Thurs the mothers of the seniors set up an opulent buffet in the quad. If you've seen Rushmore, the quad is prominently featured in the movie. The "tea" is open to all seniors, faculty, and staff. Guess who has two thumbs, a free period then, and a room on the quad--this guy! My joke about gaining 50 lbs this year may not be so far fetched.
I've decided that ABC will be my local news station. Not only do they have the Voice of God Guy who probably goes drinking with Dan Rather when he's in town, but the Nightline lady gives VoG Guy a shot out during the news, and they have an Iowan on Weather. Tim Heller, formerly of KGAN in Cedar Rapids, who obviously could not compete with Craig Johnson at KWWL or Denny Frary at KCRG, had to tuck tail and run to Houston. Hey, I'm a former Iowan in Houston, I could do the weather--it's gonna be 102 degrees and partly sunny--everyday. Boom, pay me mid-6 figures...
