Happy Birthday to Texas and myself.

That is all.

Told Benny in the car on the way to school that today is Texas Independence Day. His mind is blown by the fact that I had to take Texas History in school. And that I actually remember a lot of it.

Learned today that my manager is retiring at the end of the month. Next month I'll have my third manager in the last year and a half. My new manager is in Brazil. Those guys are all cool and relaxed. Their attitude makes me want to visit Brazil. Hopefully the new manager fits this experience.

Benny's plan of getting a job somewhere with his best friend Noah isn't working out. Apparently Noah is less motivated to start working than Benny is. Benny asked me Saturday if I'd let him work at the Waffle House. He loves their food and thinks he'd probably get a discount. I won't let him work after 10 on school nights, so the early morning violence the place is famous for wouldn't be an issue, except on weekends. But Benny would be working at the South Columbia location, which is boring (good part of town). You have to go to one of the ones north of I-70 for the action.

Happy Independence Day, Texans.
