So the wife and I decided to do something different (for us at least), and we went to see Aisha Tyler's standup act at the DC Improv. I highly recommend you go see her if she comes to your town. She has a lot of personality, she talks about grown up things (marriage, drinking, relationships, self-image and handjobs) and there wasn't a lot of over-the-top cursing. Then again, I'm not the greatest expert on live comedy shows because I can count on one hand how many I've attended. Still, funny is funny, and she's in that category.

In other news, my son and I discussed his school-issued summer reading list, and one of the books on there was A Soldier's Play by Charles Fuller. I never read this book (although I will now just to keep up) but I damn sure saw the movie "A Soldier's Story", which was based on that book. That was one of the first movies I ever saw in the theater (back in 1984..I was 9), and every time they showed Adolph Caesar on the screen I got scared. He was a scary-looking dude with a scary voice, and my young ass couldn't take it. I'll show my son this movie, but I won't mention I was scared of it, because he'll have no concept of that considering he's going on 14 years old. I just think its cool that he's reading books that I've read..

Oh and speaking of handjobs...
