anyone have an arc?
Seriously? I've had enough of this rain. I want to be able to wear dresses, and not. I want to be able to wear open-toes shoes, and not. I want sun and 75 degrees. San Francisco, anyone?
I spent the weekend down in Miami for a wedding. The wedding was beautiful. The bride was beautiful, the groom wore a top hat. What more can you ask for?
Well, I could have gone without staining my new dress in the first 5 minutes of the cocktail hour, but fortunately the dress had a bow that helped me camoflauge my inadequacy.
I don't want to bitch about the plane ride back, because truthfully, I'm feeling a little lucky just to be alive and complaining about it so soon after the fact makes me feel a little ungrateful...
The pilot got a round of applause for getting us on land safely, and some guy in front of me threw up. That's really all I wanted to say.
I stayed with my brother, which if you knew our history is pretty funny. He met us (me and my beau) at the airport and we immediately started "discussing" the
immigration issue. From there we "discussed" Walmart, Education, "the war", Africa, Bush (which we agreed on, actually) and fucking Cheney - which might have constituted a bonding moment.
This is just an update, folks. When something of actual interest happens, I'll fill you in.

I agree that it's a good thing that you landed safely.
As for your discussions:
1) Immigration - we are all immigrants
2) Walmart - axis of evil
3) Education - what education?
4) the war - more evil
5) Africa - It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
6) Bush - Trimmed, not shaved
7) fucking Cheney - not if he were the last man on earth
just my two-cents for the conversation

Hi folks, beau here.
Seriously, from the back seat perspective, the debates her brother and she had..you'd think it was Bush vs Kerry part 2.
Silly me, i was expecting family bonding on a sitcom level like: "Ive missed you, why dont you come to NY more often", "you look great, have you been working out?", or even a "Your hair looks great! What shampoo are you using". Instead, pretty much the moment we stepped foot in the car, we were listening to conservative radio. L looked as if she'd rather be dipped in a vat of citrus.
BUT! After an hour of this, we all sat down, had dinner and a relatively good time was had by all like nothing happened!
My family? Psshhh..silence for the next few weeks . Kudos to you all.

Not that your post wasn't engaging and witty as always (and not just as a clever way to steer clear of any political discussions whatsoever) but Scottie's "Africa" comment has me rolling in the cubicle aisles!!!!
