Everything she says really IS fascinating.

Most people, if you suggested that they pose for a picture with a Kung-Fu Panda statue would give you a ha, ha good one and keep walking. Particularly if you suggested that they imitate the pose of the panda.
What I love about Melissa is that her response is more like HA, HA YES! HERE IS MY CAMERA WHICH I HAVE IN MY PURSE FOR JUST SUCH AN OCCASION.
This was after dinner and Get Smart with some friends. (In case you were wondering, I believe Get Smart got a full eight thumbs up.) Then Melissa and I went to her apartment where she explained to me her plan for the perfect nap: buy a massage table so she can nap face-down without turning her head to the side. That, folks, is a serious commitment to napping. Something about her explaining this plan to me gave me the giggles and I laughed until I was in tears. It was the best (oh, ok only) workout my abs have had in quite some time.
It's good to be in the same city again. You can count on me to continue bringing you all of the hijinks as they occur. And they will. Oh, how they will.

I can tell that Melissa is so much fun!
Good to know that Get Smart was good--it's on my list of summer movies to see.

It's true I do things people normally wouldn't and what you couldn't see when you were taking that picture was everyone staring at me while I was trying to get the pose right. Classic!
And I do take my naps very seriously. I think everyone should! MASSAGE TABLES FOR EVERYONE! And no I haven't been drinking! It's only 9:45am I will at least wait until 11am!

The leg looks about 30 degrees off. Please re-shoot and pay more attention next time.

I gave Kung-Fu Panda three thumbs up, incidentally... What a fun movie.

Melissa is quite awesome indeed. And I so thought of that nap idea first.

I'm glad Gary brought up the leg angle issue, I didn't want ot be the one to break the bad news, plus the actual Kung Fu Panda is not touching his head. And he doesn't look as happy as she does.

I, too, have considered a massage table purchase for that reason. And I'm with Gary on the leg, but no, I wouldn't have said it if he hadn't brought it up. Because the picture is genius.
