Solomon and the baby

Evan is trying to watch Thor 2, Pirates 4, and an episode of KC Undercover at the same time. He has to choose between his computer, live TV and Netflix. 

A wrinkle in the analysis is that live TV is better than Netflix which is better than DVDs. All about scarcity

It is time

Evan has an obsession with time. He loves knowing how long it is until something starts or ends. He's a man of a schedule. He checks both of his cell phones for the time. And having the accurate time is paramount.

On our road trip out here, during a stressful moment when Mackey was killing my car's manual transmission and we were going to miss an exit, Evan pointed out we needed to change the time to central time zone. 

I say I will. Still helping Mackey shift. 

Evan taps me on the shoulder and points strongly at the clock. 

I stop to fix the time. And then get in the right gear. And we make our exit. 

Priorities.

Oh, Canada!

B: You need a passport because were going to Canada. 
E: Why do I need a passport?
B: Canada's a different country. 
E: Canada is not a country!

Don't tell Jen.

The time in Maine

During the night in Acadia, Maine. Evan asked me the time every 7 min for 1/2hr. I obliged, but was confused.

Finally I asked why he was asking and found out that his his phone kept switching between Atlantic and Eastern time. 

The universe is out of balance! What time is it supposed to be!

I tell him to stop checking since it will keep going until we get back to a city. 

He keeps checking all night and all day.
