I immediately texted Rebecca, who was in attendance that day, to see if she had heard the news. She responded, as any supportive friend would, "I can't believe you were beat up by a future Supreme Court justice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
I don't love her characterization of the fight's outcome, but it does make me sound slightly bad ass.
And now, your Pictures & Distractions:

I love posts like this with links to read! I now have about 8 new tabs open! :) Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI'm not very good at acronyms and I realize that my life would be easier if I just google things instead of admitting that I'm not sure or guessing. So here's my guess, based on context clues, for SCOTUS: Supreme Court Of The Utah State. Am I close? :D
ReplyDeleteAlso, Duncan Doodle makes me squeal like a little girl because of his melt your heart cuteness! We strangers approve your decision 1000000%!
You got 4/6. But then your comment about Duncan Doodle got you 12 bonus points. So you're in pretty good shape.
DeleteDidn't she technically get 5/6? I suppose I could be wrong about what it means and could benefit from a quick google peek myself, but I thought if she switched "Utah" to "United" and then discreetly tacked an 's' on "state" (and an s is not a full word) she would have it. Yes? No?
ReplyDeleteWe are very harsh graders at Stranger. There shall be no credit for failing to state the word in its plural form.
DeleteBut we give lots of credit for hair compliments, so it more than evens out.
Shoot and I forgot to give praise to the glory that is Duncan Doodle too!! Forgive me, oh Great Haired One.
DeleteIs that Puerto Penasco/Rocky Point?
ReplyDeleteGood eye!
DeleteMission. Did you get to meet any of the members?
DeleteThis is my first time reading your blog, and I am so in love with those pictures of Mr. Duncan Doodle. I think I'm going to have to come by here more often if you happen to post more adorable dog pictures ever.
ReplyDeleteWe're going to have to call you Eli Doodle

Two things.
ReplyDelete1) Mr. Duncan Doodle is so adorable it is physically painful to look at pictures of him.
2) As soon as I heard the new SCOTUS nominee was from the 10th circuit, I was like, wait just one minute! It DOES make you sound bad ass that you got to argue with a future Supreme Court Justice.
