Oh, and can YOU hold two live conversations at once?
That simple question is the life force of this posting.
In the wake of the Angela's recent accusation that I have neglected my poor blog, I refuse to be proven as a truly neglectful blog owner. At the same time, however, I refuse to post just anything because not just anything is worthy of this Xanga. However, this topic definitely is a good one for kicking off the last part of this academic year before the summer begins, if it ever does come.
The Becky and I had an absolutely delightful time during our recent travel from the land of Ludington to the land of La, which is also known to us as the Allendale/Holland area, home to lots of Republicans, Dutch Reformed Churches, tulips, Hope College, and the Grand Valley State University, AKA the "Happy Valley." We had our usual exchange of laffs, foibles, and anecdotes, but the Becky noticed that they were spewing forth from our mouths at an alarming rate as we roared down US 31 and I-96 in the Blue Bird. The topics flew, the conversational ground was covered at an accelerating rate, the talking continued on, and then the Becky and the Major General Music collapsed upon arrival at the Laker Village in the Happy Valley. All this verbal tumult calmed afterwards, but the Becky made an astonishing observation midway during this amazing storm of talking: "Tyler [codename: Major General Music], I think we could hold two conversations at once considering how much we interrupt one another and go off on tangents!"
Obviously, when the Major General Music returned to his headquarters located farther away from the Happy Valley in the mini-Netherlands known better as "Holland, Michigan," he investigated this further. Using his MSN screen name as bait, he waited. Soon enough, the Angela responded and proceeded to explain how the Becky and the Angela have had many years of experience to perfect the technique of live dual-conversations. As of this time, the only people skilled in this extremely difficult art to perfect are the Becky and the Angela, who are the founding mothers and legends-to-be in later generations, and the Major General Music. Considering the time frame the Major General Music has had to complete his training and perfect his own methods with the Becky and the Angela, only two conclusions can be made, and they are:
-the Becky thinks she is hungry, but uncertain!
-the Major General Music is surely a live dual-conversation genius in his swift mastery of this art. He is the Beethoven of live dual-conversation! And he just squashed a ladybug.

The vote is in: I'm hungry.
Beware Ang: The General knows where you sleep.

Beethoven of live dual-conversation? That may be going too far.
No worries Becky I sleep light.
