I Sheared the Sheep
Everyone's got a list of things they have to do before they turn 30. I just checked off another item on mine: shear a sheep.
Gina's second-cousin Leanne and her husband Joseph have two sheep on their property (the Palo Alto limit on hoofed animals in their neighborhood), and Jesse, the domesticated one, needs to be sheared each summer (Dolly, the wild one, shears herself against the trees). I didn't know what I was getting into when I offered to help, but it was actually kind of fun!
I only sheared about a third of her. Joseph did the rest, and he also took care of bringing Jesse down to the ground with an impressive wrestling move. After that, it was basically like shaving Alan's head, only easier, because I didn't have to do a clean job. Sheep aren't vain; they just want to be cool during the summer.
Next on my list? Tour the Grand Canyon! I have a good feeling about this one.

chang you have that look in your eyes again in that picture... you know the one you're always giving andrew at night
He's right.
I'm so jealous now.
Though I'm not sure who I'm more jealous of: Andrew or the sheep.
