We have spent the past 36 hours packing, cleaning and moving (with a little bit of sleep mixed in for sanity reasons). We were bringing a load of stuff from our apartment and had one of those big exercise balls in the back of the truck. Now it was wedged in between all sorts of boxes and other priceless trinkets that for some reason we can't live without and so we figured it would be fine making the trip. We also took the side streets instead of the freeway for added precautions. We had made it all the way from our apartment to Higley Road (about 10 miles) with no problems. We kept an eye on the back and everything seemed fine. As we crossed over the freeway the ball decided to break free and flew out of the back of the truck where it proceeded to get hit by a car, bounce across the street, get hit by another car, bounce back across the street, get hit one last time and then roll down the street after us. We pulled over, Andy got out and ran up the street a little ways to catch the ball as it rolled towards us. Andy put it in the backseat so it wouldn't try to make another break for it. We got it home still in tact without so much as even a road rash.

That is so funny. I can just picture andy running down the busy street chasing a ball...... That should be a scene on the office.
