Lin said, “Why don’t we go do something fun together? We never do anything fun together.”

“Great idea,” I said. “What do you want to do?”

We were once again faced with the fact that our ideas of fun are almost exact polar opposites.

My ideas were to go to the Blanton Museum for the free tour tonight on Baroque Period art, or to a lecture on pre-alphabetic writing systems (which I would LOVE to go to). He didn’t seem amused by my choices, so I suggested we go to the Jourden-Bachman Pioneer Farm this weekend for their Independence Day Festival … who can resist hayrides, crafts, food cooked outdoors and all manner of 1800’s fun? Lin can.

Of course, his suggestions were far outside my realm of things considered fun. Mostly they involve getting dressed up, going to some sort of nightclub, and drinking alcoholic beverages while listening to music at high volume.

Sigh.

How did two totally opposite people manage to hook up and stay together so long?!
