Anyway, your father-in-law and his partner must have some great stories to tell from their globe trotting (ha!).
*Oh, the odious way that the mother says that phrase. Egad.

I am really glad not to be living in CA this year, for just this reason. As it is, I hear plenty from all my CA friends. At least there is cool No on 8
swag to be gotten. And I like the
No vs Yes ads.
And yes, they do have fun stories to tell. And we get lots of cool presents from wherever they go. Someday when I have fewer ankle-biters I'll go cool places too.
