File This Under Random

I started class last week and I am in for a busy summer. I have a feeling I will be either reading or writing papers for this next 12 weeks. Which means that Jon will have lots of time to play computer games. Come to think of it, he is probably looking forward to it.

We have had a few random moments these past few weeks. Our flight home from Telluride was an adventure. We flew from Montrose (1.5 hour drive from Telluride) to Denver on a 30 person prop plane. About halfway through, the plane hit an "unexpected air pocket" and dropped about 50 feet. The flight attendant had just served me my drink and the people in the row in front of us. (we were in the 2nd row). When the plane dropped, our drinks flew up. Or I guess they stayed where they were and we dropped down. I ended up with soda all over me. Soda was dripping off the ceiling. A light even broke and there was glass in the aisle. It was funny afterwards thinking about everyone's soda in the air, but at the time it was a little frightening. I wish I had taken a picture. . .

Second random moment. We went to the Ben Folds concert at Wolftrap last wednesday night. We got there a little early so we ended up seeing the opening act. Her name was Julie Nunes. I guess she is big on YouTube, but it felt like a random girl in a bar singing on open mike night. (Not like we have ever been to an open mike night, but I've seen Coyote Ugly -- i know how it goes!). There she is on the left. All that equipment behind her is for Ben Folds. It was just her and a ukulele. Ben Folds was cool though, especially when he noticed there was an official sign language girl on the stage signing every word he spoke/sang and made up a song that was all swear words to try to throw her off. It was funny, but don't tell my mom I laughed.

And last random moment. We went to the Nationals/Cardinals game last night (I've converted -- Go Nats!). A moth landed on Jon's back at one point and it was a fat moth. Seriously, it had a fat body. And it wouldn't move. The guy behind us flicked it and instead of it flying away like a normal, more fit, moth, it just plopped onto Jon's butt. I flicked it away, hoping it would get the point and vamoose. Nope, it plopped onto the girl next to us who proceeded to completely flip out. She hadn't seen what was going on with the moth on Jon and she didn't see me accidentally flip it on her. The guys behind us didn't help by making comments about how it was so random that the moth landed on her. Anyway, I have bad luck at ballgames. I spilled water on some guy a few years ago.

Ok, those are our random moments in the past few weeks. Do with that as you please!
