OMG! Well, I'm glad he's getting home safe (and not stuck in a hospital in Utica), but that really does suck.

Yay for Blokus, though! And nerds of all stripes. :D

(Are you doing anything for the 4th? We' just having Jay's family over, but y'all are welcome to join us for cookout after the parade. :)

Aside from marching in the parade with the Girl Scouts, we have no plans for the 4th! What time are you thinking?

[kouredios]

After the parade. :D Jay's parents will be over around 12 if they're not going. We'll just hang out and cook stuff. No special plans.

Oh, wow. I'm so glad the vacation was so good -- until it wasn't. And then I'm so, so sorry about what happened to your dad. Jeez.

Glad you are home safe and sound.

Oh, man, what a horrible way to end what otherwise sounds like a lovely vacation. I'm glad he'll be okay, but yeesh.

BTW, my mom has told me that when she was at Wellesley (class of '63, though she met and married my dad in 1962, so this presumably would have been 1959-1961), she and her dorm-mates kept a "N.U.R.D. list" on the wall by the telephone; it was a list of men with whom they'd had bad dates, whom they wished to warn their friends away from. The acronym was for "No Use Returning, Dear."

I love slang etymologies. :)

What an awesome list!

Glad your dad is basically okay. Sounds like quite an adventure!

Also, Blokus rules! As does being a nerd. :)

Oh, that sucks about your dad's knee, but thankfully it wasn't worse, like a broken ankle. I'm glad it was a great vacation before that!
