FLYING!!!! Sarah Vowell, I'll never let you hurt me again. and no, unfortunately the show will be over by then but i can show you some stuff when you get here. can't wait to see you!!

I'm sorry darlin (that's how they talk down here!) here's your own viewing of my awesomely spectacular way to kill four minutes of your precious spare time. Enjoy.
Life is great. The view is awesome, the job is great most days, we love our house (even though when I am cleaning I wonder what made me want a five bedroom, four bathroom house!)and the kids have social lives I never had at 12! I constantly hear a heard of kids in and out all evening and on weekends. Moriah switches boyfriends more than most kids change their underwear. I am glad to hear the Cincinatti is treating you well! I was so hoping you would be in Denver - but I am glad you are somewhere that is making you both happy! You will have to look at my pics to see the kids. Well, I had better get off here and get supper done. I will email you the addresses! Love ya!
