It's the season premiere of "The West Wing," something I've been waiting for ever since I heard Matthew say, "Man! We have a fat President!" I turned on the TV and put it on the right channel, at 7:55 (this is how excited I was). I got myself some cookies, not really paying attention to what was on the TV yet. But then I heard something that made me laugh. I picked up the phone, went into my room to check a number on a post-it note there, and dialed it. Ring, ring, ring. Oh, she better be there, I thought. This is too dumb to leave a message for ... but too good not to share. As long as I can do it now! "Hello?" Jenn said.

"Jenn, I have a story!" I said.

"Oh. Okay ... "

"So, I'm going to watch 'The West Wing,' right?" (She knew I'd want to; I'd been talking about it when we went to Alexandria earlier this evening.) "So I turned on the TV, and it's still playing some other show, right? There are these half-naked people, and they're panting." (She snickers a little here.) "And the girl says, I don't know, something positive, something like 'How did that happen?' And the guy says, 'I Googled "how to please your woman"!' " At least, I think he said that ... but either way, it's quite funny, as on the way back from Alexandria we had a conversation that went something like this:

Jenn [twiches]: Oh my god! With his hand? How did he know what to do?
Holly: Well, how does anyone ever know what to do?
Jenn: This is true. [thinks a moment] I wonder if he researched it on the Internet! I bet he did! [twitches again]
