i would like to have seen montana.

so i'm up at the parents' house for the thanksgiving festivities this week, which in case you didn't know involves a hellishly long drive through southern idaho/montana. much to my shock and surprise, it didn't kill me. three important takeaways from my trip thus far:

brother: the other night, i went bowling. i bowled a 186. i would have bowled a 200...
sister: but you didn't knock down enough pins?

sister: everybody knows this song.
brother: i don't know this song.
sister: you're not everybody.

dad, on why texting won't wreck his language skills: no, i was raised in a generation when kids were taught to read and write.

Haha... I especially like your dad's comment... your fam sounds hilarious!

It was so nice fb chatting the other day... (sigh) I hope you have a fab vacay with the fam! Wish I could accompany you on the hellish drive back and get updated on all your stories...

I've landed myself from SBW's blog.

I really loved the conversation with your brother and your dad's comment. Funny, funny, funny!

And your father is right!

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!
