, I sleep on the right and Allison on the left. I don't remember the writers researching that level of detail but suffice it to say they got it right. On the other hand, our phone is on Allison's side of the bed because the phone calls are usually for her. That is a matter of efficiency.
I watch the new episodes like everyone else, NBC on Monday nights with commercials and all. I have noticed that the commercials are getting a little more main stream. For a while there seemed to be a lot of sleeping aid commercials, which I personally thought was funny. I would like to see more beer commercials because I am a fan of beer although I don't drink it too often because it makes me fat. I am a fan of quality over quantity. My favorite is going to a German Restaurant and ordering an Octoberfest Bier with some sort of schnitzel or sausage.
As for the episode "Car Trouble" I can tell you some of my highlights. My favorite line is when Ariel sees the new car and says something like "is this the car I'll be driving when I'm 16?" Allison and I turned to each other and laughed because it is so true to our daughter's personality (She is turning 14 in 6 weeks).
Allison does get "feelings" for places and objects and most definitely people. My favorite memory about Allison and buying a car is not a bad feeling but a good one. Allison and I were driving to go to lunch and she said, lets go look at cars. I said "are we looking or buying?" She just smiled.
We had wanted to get a used car to save on the depreciation, but we did not want one more than 3 years old. When we got to the dealership the just pulled out a used car that was the right make, model and color and looked great. It had only 20 K miles on it so it was just what we were looking for. It turned out to be 7 years old. It was my lucky day! There were other customers waiting to see if our credit fell through because they wanted the car.
I do like that they show TV Joe working at a startup company and inventing things. I started my career at a start up. I was the 5th employee and when I left there were 300 plus. I have also invented many things, some have even been patented. They are always a little vague on the invention, something to do with solar cells. It does look a lot like something that we used on one of the satellites I worked on. I did not invent a solar array concentrator, but I know the guys that did http://www.aec-able.com/arrays/cellsave.html
Best, Joe
Please check out www.nbc.com/medium/ they have a lot of great bonus content, behind the scenes and interviews.
Wow!! Have you guys been watching Medium this season. I know I am a little biased, but it has been incredible. Anjelica Huston, I don't know if I should love her character or not. Kelly Preston, just exactly what are her motives. Kurtwood Smith playing an FBI agent who is a vigil ante from the otherside. Joe is inventing things. And where is Ariel?
Wish me luck at for tomorrow's (March 2nd) big chili cook-off at the Elk's lodge. It is open to the public for a $5 cover charge for all the chili you can eat. You vote with your quarters. All proceeds go to charity. I'll be there with my chili. Allison will be on a plane to Atlanta.
6398 East Oak St., Scottsdale, AZ 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM
so much easier for me. I had one really excited fan Angela that hollered to me that, “I rocked the house” she was so funny. We went to dinner at the Rokerij to celebrate and my kids were a sight for sore eyes. Next stop Atlanta, Georgia!”
It has been very hectic preparing for Allison's Seminar tomorrow. I will take pictures and let you know. I also need to post pictures from Allison's birthday party and share a story about Aurora. Thanks for your patience.
Buying Christmas presents for Allison is always hard. This year I did one thing she never expected, I listened. On her list of things to do before she dies is attend race car driver's school. Here in Phoenix we have the Bondurant driving school at Firebird Raceway.
They advertise now and then and she would always say that she wanted to do it. On New Years Eve day they had a half day class in which the student get to drive four different cars. I took my Christma present (a video camera) and made this short video. I hope you enjoy it.
