black Ducks, veggie burrito


Today i met Ashley for lunch at Chipotle. While we were there, a group of black men arrived. i don't know how much you know about Redding, but it's a very ...pale town. These men were all wearing University of Oregon apparel. Those of us in the semi-pacific northwest and who are married to football fans are knowledgeable of the famous U of O Fighting Ducks. Enthused by my knowledge, and that lil old Redding made it on these Ducks' list of 'places to stop and pee and grab a bite to eat', i composed a text message to Josh: "Ducks in Chipotle!" then i realized that the message didn't properly communicate that these were U of O Fighting Ducks, and not waterfowl who'd lost their way. i edited: "There were black Ducks in Chipotle!" He responded in a way that utterly typifies him and his attitude toward my enthusiasms: "Black? i'm meeting John at In N Out." Soooo very 'Josh' of him. 'The Wife is being weird. Respond wittily and move on.'
