How are you at little crimes?


Yeah, I know. but she's not here and I kind of need to hang out in the place tonight. I don't think Melissa will mind if I promise to pay for the lock. You've got a crowbar? Cool. Hold on -- yeah, I'll do it -- not need to implicate others in the act. Almost, almost .... There. Where's the light switch? Okay, got it.

You know where she keeps the wine? Oh, that was great of you to remember to bring some. We'll leave a bottle on the counter. Maybe two.

Long couple of days, huh? Yeah, sure seems that way. Maybe we thought it was all going to be a bit easier, but the truth is nothing is ever easy, and certainly never as easy as we'd hoped it would be. But enough of that. Kick the music up and see if anyone else stops by. I know, all part of the same indiscretion. When I was younger, I used to sneak into movie theaters. Pay for one, go see three. Always was a bit of a thrill going up for a popcorn refill. Some of these little things we do -- some of these little rules we break --, hell maybe they keep our edge on. Like the prophet Jimmy Buffett said, "You never know when the hard times will hit you, and I don't want to lose my touch." Still wrong, but ... well, enough of that. Your turn. With Gonzo gone, we can be pretty safe in assuming no one's listening. So tell me,  what some of the things you've done, just to get away with it? What are your little crimes?

Well, hi there! I'd say come on in but it seems you already have. No, really, I don't mind. Lis broke in one night, too, remember? But I'm checking the lock and if I need a new one I expect an upgrade - deal? You also have to get a glass of Zin for me, since you're the host this evening.

Being perfect, I've never actually done anything wrong. Hey! If you're going to throw something use a pillow ... that kind of hurt! Very funny.

I'll think about it, and if it's not too embarrassing I'll let you know. Unfortunately, most of my indiscretions have leaned more towards the dumb than the criminal. Gosh, that's depressing.

How about you, Matt? What's your deep, dark secret?

I've had a few adventures in my life - but if you think I'm going to talk about them in an open forum, think again.

Still got the "skills", though...

Yeah, same here. I've got a reputation to uphold, after all. Who is ever going to believe that little Stilli ever did anything illegal (smirk!)?

Thanks for opening up, Matt!
