Tobey

As I sit here waiting for Vic to get all dolled up before we head out to the Tigers game, I thought I would introduce you to the newest (and smallest) member of our family. We have a spider living in our bathroom. This doesn't bother me in the least ~ when you already share your home with more than a dozen animals, what's another little spider or two? Vic, however, hates spiders and I know that the first chance she gets, she'll be whacking away at it with a shoe (mine, probably). It's for this reason that I didn't name my new 8-legged friend Charlotte. I'd feel just terrible knowing that my girlfriend was the homicidal maniac responsible for the murder of Charllotte the spider. I've instead named him Tobey after Tobey Maguire who plays Spiderman in the movies. I was going to name him Peter after Spiderman's alter ego Peter Parker, but I feel funny about calling anyone Peter, so Tobey it is!
