Back Home Again in Indiana
We’re going to Indiana next month for a little visit. We’ll visit with the parents, my sisters, and of course the eleventeen children they’ve had.

It should be interesting. Deeps and I will be faced with the invading horde of anklebiters and we'll have spirited discussions about whether or not we really want to have any kids.

I emailed my sisters a couple of dates and they responded quickly – my sister Peepers always writes these weird, short missives that seem to indicate that a) she is Doris Day and b) I’ve never seen her kids. Neither of these things is true.

In fact, just last night I was thinking that my sister Peeper kind of reminds me of Joy from My Name is Earl – except slightly less harsh and twangy.

Maybe someone polite is hacking her computer and emailing me. I don’t know.

Or maybe I haven’t lived at home in 13 years I don’t really remember what she’s like as an adult person. I just remember what she was like when she was 15. Like all 15-year-old girls she was awful.

Anyway, we’ll be going to Indiana and enjoying fun times like… drinking, eating fried food and quietly judging each other.

It will be just like Christmas but without the presents.
