B-Tone & the Cockroaches

I think this cockroach was recently hit by a wicked fastball.

Our friend Dean was in town this past weekend and that inevitably means at least one evening of colorful storytelling and laughing so hard my sides ache. Dean is one of those people whose life is full of amazing friends (not excluding myself), colorful experiences, and unbelievable stories. I kept hoping he would set his phone down so I could just snoop through the names on his contacts list. I think he was on to me because he never let the little thing out of sight. . .maybe next time I'll recruit Jeff to be my accomplice. He's unsuspecting, but undoubtedly sly.

Some of my favorite items of conversation--
1. Justin's run-in with B-Tone (name changed to protect the STUPID). FYI--profuse sweating while sleeping is a Michelle Dealbreaker!
3. Jeff is fine with cockroaches as long as they aren't crawling across his sleeping self.
4. Dean once caught a fast ball between his legs. At least a hour spent on this alone. . .oh, my.
5. Frasier (Dean's beloved dog) is a walking miracle. Oh, and he sleeps in a bed--quite like a human.
6. Ryan is the "nice" brother.
7. Mmmmmmichelle's apple cake is yummy.
8. Mark once killed a mouse with a wooden dowel--without a towel.
9. Grapefruit will change your life.
10. Never take inner-city youth camping without a bullet-proof vest.

Love ya--Dean. Can't wait for your next visit!
