I spent the day shuttling people all over town. First, dropping off my older brother to his interview at the Holiday Inn Express. He got the job! He'll start out with part-time hours, but should be full-time after a training period, and making slightly more than minimum wage. This is fantastic news ( Read more... )

Today is my little brother's birthday! He hasn't given us any ideas for a present and will probably just spend the day chillaxing out with his friends. We might go somewhere for dinner as a family. Who knows? I don't ( Read more... )

The first time, it was clear someone had driven it. Kathy, our neighbor, decided to block it off at night by parking a camper directly behind it so that nobody ( Read more... )

Britain isn't in the guard yet. He was all ready to sign off and be official and everything, then at the last minute he got a call telling him not to.
