Not your ordinary experience

Wednesday was one of those experiences that will probably stay with me forever. Wood said we should post about it.

We don't own a TV. This inhibits our TV watching which is fine with us since we can still watch movies on the comupter which is mostly what we'd want a TV for anyway. But, we discovered we can get BYU TV over the internet. So when Wood came home from his mids shift Wednesday morning he wanted to see if he could catch highlights of a previous BYU football game. That wasn't on until later that night. So instead we watched part of the 1999 BYU men's volleyball NCAA championship games. Yes, it's 7 year old, but we still got really excited about the games. We even pulled our love seat in front of the computer to watch.

After the games we were going to turn off the "TV" when Wood noticed one of the programs on a previous day.....Saturday's Warriors....dum dum dum. I have never seen Saturday's Warriors. I've heard people make reference to "I've seen that face somewhere before" but that's about it. He suggested that we watch it. He told me that if I wanted to get some of the jokes/references at family gatherings we really should watch it. So we plopped down for another two hours as the indoctrination began. I don't think I've laughed like that or seen that much spandex/poofy hair in a long time.

Now I get "We'll keep Pam". Now I get "I've seen that smile somewhere before". Now I can't get many of those tunes out of my head. Do they stay there forever? Wood and I keep going around singing pieces from the show. "Jimmy oh Jimmy don't listen to them....." "Hey Flinders, no Flinders, come on we've got to go Flinders" "Will I wait for you?" "We are not your ordinary, fearlessly extrodinary..." And we laugh every time. Yep, life will never be quite the same around our house. And some day when we have kids we'll have to gather them around and say "if you ever want to get some of our jokes, we have something you need to watch. But be warned....you are about to be exposed to a high dose of the 80's....and the songs in your head will never be the same!"

Vermont

On Tuesday Wood and I went to Vermont to look at the fall colors. The pictures don't do it any justice, but I think that's the best time I've ever had on a drive. It was like stepping into a picture...only much better then the ones posted here! And the company couldn't be better.
