Despite a convincing performance over the last five years, my parents don’t really want to spend their golden years in a Florida trailer park. And I’ve written several times about how my inexplicably and suddenly uber-liberal father has foiled the evil President Bush, taken his money out of the flailing stock market, and secured it in a house.

It was quite exhilarating, fun and emotional in between all of the parentally-requested landscaping, and I’ll be back up there again just as soon as is humanly possible. For more landscaping, no doubt.

I flew to Vancover to see the Pixies in [...]...

Greg are you out there? Johnny Mac? Nick? Get at me, dawgs. Apparently [...]...
