hey kids!
sorry i've been awol, but the bandwidth situation here remains as flaky as ever. seems i have a lot of catching up to do.
welcome back, mark! now -- if i sned you something via amazon dot com will it arrive at the appropriate houston? this is a problem i hadn't given much thought to until recently when i noticed that i had four addresses listed at amazon -- only one of which coresponded to my domicile. whoops. it sucks that you are back in the hot place. that means no mario party drinking game for you and no getting to see your sorry ass.
i assume that matt is already back in atl/en route to new england. looks like only family types (and jeff) will see him this holiday season.
this is all shit that you could figure out yourselves, so i'm gonna shut up.
this xmas my mom's parents visited. that was cool. i haven't seen them in about 5 years, i'd wager... i was very eager to see them since it'd been so long and i got the impression that they wouldn't be around much longer. well, maybe i don't remember them so well, but they certainly appeared to be faking very good health. mom suggested that they would look very different, but she was wrong on that count too. they're still as weird as ever too, which i think is great, but makes my mom insane. grandpa talked about the war, and both had things to say about growing up in iowa and their families (grandpa's 'step'-father was the head civil engineer for the "south dakota district" and designed and oversaw construction of the road that leads to mt rushmore. grandma was the youngest on 7 children -- 18 years younger than the oldest, of whom she was terrified until she was about 19.
so i've been doing the standard j'ville thing -- hanging out with the mom during the day -- slaving at household chores and watching movies -- and seeing highschool peeps by night. that and building lego for hours on end. i'm gonna see how much of it i can bring back this time. what fun!
really, it has been a great trip, though perhaps not so much to read about. i'll be back on new year's eve eve.
