Thing to Do No. 6: Telegate

I still don't have a functional computer, so don't be too critical of this post. Right now, I'm typing on one of those horrible netbooks with a 6 inch screen and microscopic keyboard. My apologies!

I learned a new word on facebook this week, courtesy of the most obnoxious person I know. "Telegate" means generally to tailgate from a distance; think cybermeetings and telecommuting.

Yesterday, while the Colonel and a friend of his (using MY TICKET) traveled to God's Country for the UGA v. SC game, I ... you guessed it ... sat at home and laid on the couch. Shocker!

Actually, my sister invited me over for what we now call Telegate Soup, a delicious vegetable chowder. I laid on her couch while we watched a real nailbiter. Molly amused herself by playing with all the dog toys, which, because they are merely different, are apparently infinitely better than the dog toys she has at her own house.

During halftime, we went out for ice cream at Cold Stone Creamery. We nearly left when the employees broke out into an obnoxious ice cream song to the theme from Gilligan's Island. It was horrible. I hate places that do that.

Here's the recipe for Telegate Soup. Good find, Caro!
