I imagine I'll go through the same process when we have to replace our relic. I absolutely love that you were talking about fridge layout efficiency.

The thought behind it would seem to be that people will go out and buy a new 6-pack of cans before the previous 6-pack is entirely gone... therefore, in order to store all your cans, it should have the capacity to hold 1.5 6-packs (i.e. the new 6-pack, and half of the previous 6-pack). Otherwise, if it only held 6 cans, then when you came home with the new 6-pack, but still had one or two cans left over from the previous one... you'd have to put a few of them on the shelf. See? Wait... why am I commenting on this? Gah! Actually, I think there is a certain degree of logic behind the 9-cans setup in your fridge.

When I was back that way in October, I introduced Mister to that place I had my first job at, and he was not disappointed. Though he can't understand why people in MA are not all 500lbs each when we have copious amounts of awesome ice cream and delicious roast beef sandwiches on every corner (not to mention donuts!) It sounds like you are further along in unpacking 1 month after moving than I am 9 months after moving. I miss Friendly’s, and I’m pretty sure they are only in the northeast.

Especially when pounding someone. I'm extremely passive, which leads to minimal confrontation but a whole lot of frustration with myself afterwards. I do like you and stew about it for way too long... usually coming up with some amazing things that I COULD have said, but will never get the chance to say. I've never been in a fight (aside from just boxing with friends...), but I'd like to think that all that frustration that has built up inside me would give me some sort of benefit if it came down to having to fight someone. That and my beard. “There are no time outs in life, buddy” may very well be one of the best lines I’ve ever heard. Especially when pounding someone.
