Isaac [watching a Sikh man walk by]: “A Genie!”

A Brief Exegesis on Writing by Hand
In case you were wondering: this handwriting is not clear enough for Adobe Acrobat OCR. Evernote OCR can read it reasonably well, and that will work for now. Unfortunately (but understandably), Evernote will not export the OCRed text—I am limited to searching in Evernote. I imagine there is other OCR software that can also read it. No doubt, however, I need to get my handwriting tuned up a bit. And finally, outsourcing handwritten documents to be typed is relatively cheap.
Pajamas
Isaac [at the hotel, upon learning we forgot his pajamas]: “My dream come true! Time to sleep in my underwear!”
Racial Tensions
Isaac [limping at Scouts ]: “Thomas hurt me when we were wrestling. He didn’t stop when he was supposed to.”
Richard: “That’s too bad. Which boy is Thomas?”
Isaac: “The one with brown hair.”
Richard: “A lot of kids have brown hair. Give me a bit more to work with.”
Isaac: “He has brown skin too.”
Richard: “Um, okay. I guess that works.”*
*We do live in Sauk Rapids, MN. Not exactly a diverse community.
Red
Special Guest Star!
Richard: “Red shirt or blue shirt?”
Paige: “The red one really brings out the new scar on your face.”
Brain Freeze
Fresh City Air
Isaac [standing on the balcony enjoying the St Paul skyline]: “Aaah. Fresh city air!”
Restaurant Manners
Richard: “Isaac! Stop! Restaurant manners, please.”
Isaac (in sweet voice): “Oh, sorry. MAY I say ‘KILL’ at the table, please.”
Happy Family
One might think this is a happy family under a rainbow in a field of flowers. According to Isaac, this is his family under a force field which is protecting them from all the fire.
Titanic
Isaac [pondering the Titanic]: “You know what would have worked? Cover the ship entirely in gold with only one door. That would be strong!”
Richard: “Or maybe diamonds?”
Isaac: “Or road. You can’t break a road”
Fry: “Those fools. When will they learn to make a ship with a 1001 hulls?”
