IM is cool. I'm here watching music videos while the boys build with Legos and I see an old friend log onto AIM, so I chat her up. After some nonsense back and forth she types "just saw a wild kangaroo."

Huh?

Turns out she in Australia -- so while I'm sitting on my ass waiting to send the boys to bed for the night, she's getting ready to eat lunch on Thursday. With kangaroos. And annoying IM messages from me.

Speaking of annoying, a Huey Lewis video just come on. You think they're watching that in the southern hemisphere?
