My two favorite signs I saw this week? One was at the First Church of something or other and said "Father forgive them." First of all, forgive who? And secondly, for what?? Perhaps the church's landscaping company for having a design concept that centered around the "scraggly bush" theme. Or maybe the construction company across the street for jackhammering so loud they could wake this supposed God. In any case, church elders, please be more specific next time. I can't take the ambiguity.

The second one was in the median on Alexander Drive and said "Need money? Call 24/7." And the best part is that it was WRITTEN IN MAGIC MARKER!!?! They didn't even bother to go to Michael's and get a bunch of plastic letters for $.49 each. I don't know how it's lasted through all this rain. Dudes--seriously. In this topsy-turvy world full of subprime loans and corporate financial corruption, that sign doesn't really add an air of credibility to your offer.

Jennifer and Chris are out in Cali for a long weekend so Julia's stuck with the Soloways starting tomorrow morning. You know what that means, right? Duke t-shirts all weekend. And she's gonna love it!
