"But Jesus loves soda"
This weekend Kim drove down to Baltimore to Clint and Mayka's house to meet me as I was already in Bethesda presenting at the NIH. I also ran the Baltimore marathon which was fantastic (except for my time). Anyway, on the way home from the marathon I picked up a bottle of Cherry Coke for Clint and one for myself. After letting the Coke freeze for about an hour Clint and I sat down on the couch to enjoy the frosty libations. Riley immediately approached Clint on the couch and said "but, Dad, you're not supposed to drink soda." but he said it more in a beseeching as opposed to a chastising tone which indicates to me that he was saying "Hey, Dad, can I have sip?" Kim says I don't think before I say certain things and this was probably one of those times for I turned to Riley and said "But Jesus loves soda --- especially the black kind." You can imagine the look of confusion on Riley's face. So, Mayka, if you're reading this --- I'm sorry. I'll try not to use Jesus to undermine your parenting in the future. Next time I'll just say "Spiderman loves soda and gets his superpowers from drinking it."

Who is this Mayka girl and why is she on our family blog?
Let me just say, "Mayka, you couldn't do anything that would get you kicked out of the family." As to who likes what soda, I have not a clue. But rest assured, we will have plenty of "right and wrong" beverages for comsumption come holiday time. Re: Tusso5, I hope you were kidding, or you are studying way too hard. (Brain freeze) Oh, and congratulations on your marathon, Nick. I think I will start running tomorrow.
Mayka,
Sooner or later you have to just give in to the temptation. I have been in and out of the Betty Ford clinic ever since I joined this family. I have not yet given up on a soda free life but...I always need just one more Pepsi.
