Happy Birthday, Dad! Hope it's an AWESOME one! :-)
We're closing up shop from today through to Sunday, so if you don't receive a response from us, it's not because we're ignoring you - it's because we're having a contest to see who can stuff the most mints in their mouth at once. Oh, and we'll be gorging on turkey, too. We'll answer your emails and will process your orders next week when we re-open.
I promise.
We're actually leaving OUR home for Thanksgiving, and heading toward the homes of family members, which makes it the next best thing to home. We're leaving early tomorrow morning, and won't be back until next Sunday night. The kids will likely hate us (from all the driving), by the time we're home, but what's Thanksgiving without a few flaring tempers, right? All they do is scream a lot of nonsense anyway, so it's not like we have to listen to what they're saying.
"MOMMMMMYYYYYYAHHHSOMDAGOBBATOOMYTHIMPIUMPERDAAAAAAJUMMMMMMMM!"
:Pause to suck in air to gear up for the next stream of screamed nonsense:
:Repeat:
"MOMMMMMYYYYYYAHHHSOMDAGOBBATOOMYTHIMPIUMPERDAAAAAAJUMMMMMMMM!"
10 hours of that is a LOT OF FUN. OH, LET ME TELL YOU. Don't cast yer eyes down on me for investing in that Car DVD setup. BEST PURCHASE I EVER MADE. Instead of 10 hours of "MOMMMMMYYYYYYAHHHSOMDAGOBBATOOMYTHIMPIUMPERDAAAAAAJUMMMMMMMM!" I now only have to deal with about 2 hours of it. Like I said,
Best.
Purchase.
Ever.
I've had several people accept my invitation to hike with me, but there are a few more of you (one who has actually climbed several Adirondack peaks - YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!) who I'm hoping will join me. You don't have to pick a peak yet. Just start thinking about when you'd like to climb with me. Have a weekend in July free? Let me know and I'll reserve the weekend just for YOU!
