I spent this weekend in Athens visiting my brother. Wonder Boy and I stayed with him in his house. Points of interest about his house which will be the home of 6 boys this school year:

  1. There is a mirror *inside* the shower
  2. A warning from Jake when we got there went as follows, “You can take your shoes off but I don’t recommend it. Your feet will turn black.”
  3. Downstairs there were *at least* 6 couches. And that doesn’t count the one on the front porch. In its state of decomposition, I am not sure it can count.
  4. Six boys are sharing 1 and 1/2 bathrooms. My not-that-clean brother explained that when he moved in (he’s the only one staying there for the summer) that he had to clean the sole bathtub / shower with “industrial shit” because it was black. BLACK.
  5. Upon leaving Jake asked for a hug. This was weird and I should have been suspicious but I hugged him and as I squeezed him, he let out a tremendous, juicy fart. (That’s not really about the house, but ah well.)
