I keep putting this off because I usually want to do it either before going to sleep or work and so it has been.
My parents are going to Europe in July. I've helped them work out the dates to be in Germany and the dates to not be. Now for anyone who isn't aware, my stepfather is Hungarian, so I now know how to find Hungarian phone numbers over the internet.

I've never seen him cry and even this time it was only a tear or two.
I learned that my favourite fighter plane is not only being retired but has flown it's last combat mission, and the last squadron will stop flying before the end of the year.
