Your parents are sooooo coooooool.

Tell me, does he sit there sipping a lemonade with a bag of popcorn in his lap?
... Spectator sports. MMm.
Cass, spare us all the lame comparisons. YOU of all people know that I am a highly mobile, well connected and tech savvy guy, with multiple presences on the web at any given instant. And as such, I can and will blog at the time and place of my choosing.

"And now here is the mother in her natural habitat. The mother dislikes when the evasive housefly invades her family space and wields the detachable limb that all mothers have. To some, it is called, a "Hoover", others, a "Regina". Some mothers are all for sucking up everything at once. These particular mothers use the detachable limb I like to call, "The ShopVac".

Eh heh.
*scampers off*
