Quote of the weekend

Sunday, October 21st, 2012

From dinner Friday night:

I was going to buy you a book, but I figured you already had one.

–my mother

(This is somewhat more amusing if you’ve seen my library. What she meant was that she had considered buying this for me, as I guess the author spoke at her DAR meeting, but she decided to wait and see if showed up for less than $30. It looks like something that’d be up my alley, but my sister suggested it will probably show up at Half-Price soon.)

I would post a runner-up quote of the weekend, but:

  1. It would mostly be incomprehensible screaming, and
  2. I wasn’t there for it, since I left my sister’s house shortly before the end of regulation in the Texas Tech – TCU game. Between that and the UT game, I have to ask; has defense become a lost art?
