What All Male College Freshmen Look Forward To

Tonight I went over to get my grandpa’s chair from Jennifer & Stepan—now that they have their lovely new furniture, my old chair just takes up valuable space :-(. I managed to hang around long enough to get fed and then play a game of three-person cribbage (NOTE: everyone ask Jennifer about the new math).

At some point during the game, which was lots of fun and made me remember all the evenings Jfer & I spent playing cards in my condo when I was a senior and she a sophomore at UT, I realized there were three of us sitting around—and therefore we needed only one more to make us four, and who’s coming to Austin next month? Matthew! So I said, Hey, when Matthew comes up, we’ll have enough to play euchre! Jfer was excited too, until I had a second thought and mentioned that perhaps playing euchre with his two older (female and married) cousins and one of their husbands was not exactly high on the list of things that he’s probably looking forward to as a college freshman. And then she said . . . well, I guess I’ll leave that for her own blog . . .
