"You like things that are too relevant"

This accusation was made by my wife last night in regards to a documentary I had rented. I can't say if she is right or not. If Seinfeld and Woody Allen are relevant then maybe (I wish I were Jewish). I was too tired anyway as I had just returned from a loss prevention meeting in Los Angeles. Did you know that 60% of Barnes and Noble loss comes from operations, the other 40 from Justin Housman? It's true. Yes, I had worked until midnight the night before and had to leave by 5am the next morning in order to arrive on time for said meeting. Being asked to perform such a feat might fool some into believing I make a decent amount of money. I don't. I'm just a sucker. For those who have read "Empire Falls," I am Miles Roby. For those of you who have not, I strongly suggest you get a copy soon.

I used to hate Southern California. Oh, how things have changed. I made a stop at the Ventura In 'n Out for a late lunch and the SoCal images took me to another world. The Hispanic father and daughter riding their bikes. The boy in a wetsuit, ordering a burger. The guy eating lunch with zinc-oxide on his nose. Maybe the world is okay and maybe my hatred of humanity is unfounded. There is hope.

Did anyone notice that my grandmother now comments on federalcheese in order to correct my spelling?
