It’s a bit harsh at points but it’s an interesting statement on what our society thinks grownup means. It means being responsible and independence according to the article. I’m in complete agreement with the responsible part. The independence part not entirely if it means not depending on your friends for things and instead paying professionals. To me part of being friends to be be there for my friends. It’s okay to me that people depend on me. Here are some thoughts I had while reading:
You are completely fine to never send me a thank you note and save a tree.
Feel free to assume you can crash here if you need a place to stay when coming through town.
I will absolutely help you move. ASK ME. I kind of like it and I think it’s stupid to pay for movers.
I’ve been a little slow to update this blog on happenings. Last weekend we went up to Maryland for a little roadtrip with Nate, Anne, Alisha and Casey. We ate at Phillips, went to a concert(The Hold Steady), had Brunch at The City Cafe and played in my parents pool. Here is a fun video clip of Alicia and Anne learning how to dive off the diving board and Alisha showing off:
Our good friends Scott and Jan had their baby last night! Lucy Janelle Wiese was born last night at 6:05 pm weighing 6 pounds 9 ounces and measuring 20 inches long. We went to see them tonight and she is adorable. Mom was a champ and was doing great. That is a picture of the happy new parents. Seriously, have you ever seen a couple look better after just having a baby?!?! And here is one of me holding her:
I went fishing yesterday up on the Rappahannock with my good friends Ryan and Nate. It was a good time of hanging out. We fished, threw around the frisbee and football, canoed, drank beer and fished some more. Fishing awards are as follows:
Most Fish Caught: Ryan(4)
Largest Fish: Me!
Save face: Nate for catching for his one and only fish at the end of the day
It was a great day of hanging out with friends and just enjoying nature. Good times!
The above picture is the big one. It’s also good evidence that I need to lose weight.
As a number of people have mentioned, Google has put up their street view of Richmond. While my lovely wife was exploring it she checked out Buzzy’s and saw some beautiful people out front. Check them out:
That’s us and our good friends Ryan and Aoife standing out front talking, forever memorializing us as Church Hillites and Buzzy’s addicts.
Update: Turns out Alicia found out about us in the photo from this CHPN post
