We are a week away from our anniversary...

...and NOW the skeletons are coming out of the closet. Derrel was getting ready to head out to his man-date (a.k.a. 'poker night'), and we were talking about numbers:

"Numbers rule everything," he said. "That's what we used to say in Math club."
I laughed, he didn't. Come to find out he really was in Math Club.

"Yeah, we used to do math problems for fun at lunch," he continued.

I was agog (we used to study SAT words at lunch, way more acceptable).

If that wasn't enough (which it absolutely was), they apparently had a little gang sign that they threw at eachother around campus:




Yeah....
That's Pi.

In other "learning more than we had hoped" news, we were watching TV the other night when a commercial came on talking about the Yamaha Rhino, a type of dune buggy. Derrel informed me that this was the vehicle we were going to be in on one of our excursions during our anniversary cruise.

As we continued to watch the commercial, it turned out to be one of those "if you have suffered any of the following injuries while on a Rhino, contact Bob and Bob Law Firm, as you are entitled to settlement money."

We laughed for quite awhile, in the nervous, let-me-write-down-that-phone-number sort of way.

What is it about men that they have to "work" us on the anniversary trips?? Your Dad took me dirt bike riding on our honeymoon and I've been on numerous "excursions" w/Curtie as well (black/blue bum from bouncing on wave runners come to mind)
Have a wonderful SAFE trip!!

This is so great. I went to a couple Math Quiz competition things with a team or something but it wasn't an official Math Club. But if there was, I probably would have been in it. We definitely didn't have a gang sign.
