I'M ON A PLANE
I'M ON A PLANE
EVERYBODY LOOK AT ME 'CAUSE I'M POSTING FROM A PLANE

And what will I post about from tens of thousands of feet in the damn sky? Why, my family, of course! Because...they flew on a plane to come to California?

On the plus side: Siblings!

Also, you're now in Boston.

Before future family gatherings you might want to (a) have a house cleaner come through before your parents arrive; (b) randomly hand out twenty dollar bills to your younger relatives for no particular reason.

I do love my siblings! And Boston is pretty nice.

Heh. In full view of the parents, of course. If only I had a stash of twenty dollar bills lying around for this express purpose.

Maybe you could talk to your siblings in advance and they could keep giving you back the twenties when your parents weren't looking, so you could just hand out the same twenties over and over.

I find this idea incredibly hilarious.

THAT IDEA IS AWESOME HA HA HA.

Aw, Sunil. Holla if you need a hug at any point. You sound like a darn good brother/cousin.

DO you know anything about the Jelly Belly Factory?

[spectralbovine]

Nope! Mostly.

I know about the Jelly Belly Factory! Have your mom call me when she has questions.

I am glad you realize (most of the time) that you are fine.

I opened the brown paper bag. It was full of washcloths.

Heh. My mom is a notorious Howard Hughes-esque clean house fanatic. When I had my back surgery, she came over to clean, and went so far as to take down the exhaust fan from the ceiling in my bathroom and clean it, wondering aloud why I had never done so before.

She also made comments about bringing in a "crew" to really clean the place. It was not what any rational human being would consider in need of a "crew" to clean it. It was normal lived-in messy.

In conclusion: Moms = pretty damn weird over stuff we normal folk consider par for the course.

Overall, that sounds like a pretty good family visit. Yay for you being in Boston!
