One, never, ever play a game called "Never Have I Ever" with a significant other. This is me verbally shaking my head "no." In the past, I wanted to know every last detail about my woman's past....but now, not so much. That's no reflection on the person at all - it goes exactly the same, the other way. Is that innocence-lost, I guess? It was easier to know about someone's past, when they didn't really have a past, as it were?

Two, 'round here apparently it's cool to have a fire at a residence, as long as it's contained within some sort of oven or grill, and you're cooking something. The firemen (and firewoman) we met the other night were really cool about not slapping down a several thousand dollar fine for a backyard conflagration, but they also weren't told about the drunkent waving of gargantuan flaming palm fronds. They did let us take pictures of the owner of the house in a swimsuit on their firetruck, though.

Three, there's a show I'd never heard of till last night, "Final Fu," that's actually pretty damn good. It's a martial arts competition/reality show, and while there's always going to be some cheese necessary to promote MA to a wider audience, they seem to keep it to a minimum. There are MA-based obstacle courses, board-breaking courses, and multiple types of sparring, the last interesting enough to get the viewer pumped and cheering. Though, we noted, it didn't seem fair to pit a small femme against a much larger guy, just in terms of advantage by weight.
