While having a glass of wine on a fun date with my wife in Brookfield at the Salt Creek Wine Bar, she was rambling on about something amusing when suddenly, she said, "Bla bla bla... I forget what my point was."
My wife is the funniest person I know.

Perhaps It's Not Time For A Refill
Better Than A Shower
"You're so muddy from playing outside! It's time for you to take a shower," said my wife to our young daughter.
"No, I don't like showers. Give me a pool," replied our daughter firmly.
I think she meant "bath," but that's OK.

Actual Library Rant
At the library, while looking at new books, we noticed a large number of "green" books about saving the environment. My wife picked up one and said, "I'm so sick of all this green stuff. If we're all going to die, then we're all going to die. You know? If you really want to 'go green,' don't print your stupid book."
Yes, this is an actual rant that my wife had at the library.

Silly Daddy Malnourished
I replied, "Aw, just eat it. You're probably malnutritionist or something."
"Don't you mean, 'malnourished?'" my daughter corrected.
"Yeah, that too," I added.

Virtual Reality Scares Me
A couple walks down the city street as the wife becomes alarmed at all the dazed people traveling with big hi-tech helmets on their heads. She declares, "Virtual reality scares me. We may be the last generation that's not completely addicted to it, don't you agree?"
"Did you say something?" asks the husband, distracted by the mp3 phone in his ear.

The topic of virtual reality (VR) is a minor subplot within the Star Chosen novel that I have been putting the finishing touches on. The above comic, while not at all a scene from the novel, actually came about after I made a comment on a sci-fi article covering a VR TV movie called "Virtuality." The original comment of mine went like this:
"Virtual reality scares me. It is where the world is headed and we may be the last generation of people to say that we were alive before people got addicted to it in a damaging manner. Yet no one will care, as they will, most likely, all be hooked on VR. I even wrote a book about it, and the title is... Oh, nevermind. Who's left to read books? Sorry for being so deep, but I had to get this out before tonight's show, wherein my mind will certainly turn to space-mush."
