more questions

okay. i need help. as i've mentioned, i'm taking the wife on a super secret trip this weekend. up until a few minutes ago, when i realized that i have NO IDEA what to tell her to bring, i wasn't going to mention where we were going in case she read my blog.

who the hell am i kidding? 30 people read this garbage every day, and she's not one of them. she gets enough of my garbage at home.

so here it is: we're going to san francisco. sssshhhh, don't tell.

i've never been there. i barely know what to pack for me, so i need you all to tell me (all 30 of you) what do i tell her to pack?

I've never been there, either, but I'd say bathing suit and appropriate clothing (just check weather.com) would be enough. I mean, as long as you have that and a camera, what more would you want. And then a nice outfit or two for when you go to a nice dinner or two. That's my two sense, anyway. I hate packing.

Hi,
I've been there a few times...it's an awesome city. MAKE SURE she brings a sweater (any time of year) if you plan on visiting the Golden Gate Bridge. There's very strange weather only around that bridge. It could be sunny and warm a few miles away, but the bridge could be covered in fog with freezing winds. It's crazy.

Also, if you take a boat trip to Alcatraz (I recommend) then she'll need a light jacket because it can get pretty windy. Otherwise, some cute clothes, sunglasses, (doubt you'll need a swimsuit unless you plan on swimming inside your hotel) and some tennis shoes and she should be all good!

Have a great time and let me know if you need more info!

PACK FOR HER

Oh, I don't know about that one. It's romantic and all, but if a dude attempted to pack for me, I'd probably end up buying clothes when I got there. No offense Newton, maybe you've got good style sense, but I'd have to say most men lack that...as far a women’s clothing goes.

i'm the reason my wife doesn't have a "shopping" friend. i'm almost better at it than she is. i can answer questions like, "which shoes/necklace/shirt/pants/skirt" as quickly as i can tell you how many races jeff gordon won last year.

i think i can pack for her, just letting her pack her makeup and unmentionables.

if i pack, if nothing else, it'll get done faster. i could bake a cake, knit a quilt AND play a game of madden 2aught6 in the time it takes her to pack.

by the way, gordon won 5 races last year.

Who is this guy?

me? i'm the husband that makes all other husbands look bad. i take pride in trying to make all of the wife's friends (and my female married friends) jealous.

It is cooler there than you might think. Long sleeved shirts, jackets--plenty of layers.

And have fun. San Francisco is fuckingfantasticiloveitsomuch!

i'm not cocky, i'm self assured.

i guess i just get a great deal of pleasure out of making the wife feel like she's the most important thing in this world. especially since i spend a lot of time holed up in my little room recording or working on music after spending all day in my little 3.5 walled slice o'heaven.

i promise, i'm not cocky. just confident. and witty. and not bad to look at, i should add...okay, now i'm being cocky.

Dude...that's my motto...I'm not cocky. Just confident.

At any rate, Ciaobella, I've told you Newton rules, haven't I?

Newton, you're forgetting to share the thing about the scoreboard.

oh yeah...so we're going to the giants/mets game friday nite...a certain someone is going to get a birthday message sometime between the top and bottom of the third inning.

i even had a customer give me tickets to the 49ers/titans game, on the 50, but i won't be able to use them because it's at the same time as the baseball game.

I'm sorry, you're skipping the 49ers game?!?!?!

ok you're not THAT perfect after all.

But I'm still envious of your wife!

i paid semi-heavy coin to have the message on the billboard, so i kinda have to.

san francisco, by the way, is so far pretty bad ass.

Have a good time! If a cutie, effeminate guy from Nashville named Matt hits on you, tell him I said hi.

Ever consider moving to Utah? I'm thinking you would have no problem finding women to fulfill your grandiosest dreams of polygomy.

yeah I thought about that... it's such a romantic gesture!

LUUUUUCKY

Garbage? I wouldn't call it garbage. More like fluffy filler with a foamy aftertaste.
