Here?s a little story from school?talk about a tongue twister!

So LaTia and LaCreshia told Felix that LaTiesha said that she was going to get her cousin to beat him up. Felix was concerned and told his friend LaTasha about the situation. He instructed LaTasha to give Latiesha a talking to. ?LaTasha, don?t hit LaTiesha,? he said, ?just scare her a bit.? So in the hallway before my class LaTasha began giving LaTiesha her talking to. Unfortunately, things with LaTasha and LeTiesha didn?t go as planned and quite a catfight erupted. Being the uninhibited and determined young lady that she is, LeTiesha was raging like a bull and it took about five adults to pry LeTasha and LaTiesha apart and hold LaTiesha back. After the earrings were recovered and the hair was cleared off the floor, the true story came out: LaTeisha didn?t know LaTasha or why she began yelling at her. LaTeisha never told LaTia and LaCreshia that that her cousin was going to beat Felix up. She admitted, ?I don?t care what Felix does, and if I did, I wouldn?t get anyone to jump him?I?d do it myself!?

In an odd twist of fate, and much to the chagrin of my lovely fianc?e, Meghan and I have swapped geographic location vis a vis where we were last year. As faithful readers and friends may recall, Meghan was just finishing up at the University of Pennsylvania while I was working in Stamford. Once upon a time the project I was on in Stamford seemed relatively secure, and thus Meghan moved in with me in Stamford shortly after graduation. As of last week however, I was staffed on a project outside Philly, and have thus traded my wedge in for a hoagie (?wedge? is the strange term for an elongated sandwich that Connecticuitians have adopted).

This project is moving at a more ?aggressive? pace than my last one, and at least in this early stage of the game, looks like it will have me keeping far more busy than my last gig. Frequent readers will also be pleased to know that I have already settled in to the local Sheraton, which is only a few miles down the road from the Holiday Inn!
