Actually, Terri, I think we are quite interesting. And we would be more interesting if you would update and read this blog instead of sleeping and denying the existence of calories and B12. Tonight my dad and I were sitting around after supper (I cooked chickpeas and made it into a salad. It was weird. Not eating meat in limiting, but at the same time forcing me to try new things I would have never touched.), anyway we were sitting around and listening to Prairie Home Companion. It was toward the end of the show, and for all of those faithful listeners out there who are obviously reading our blog, that means it was "News from Lake Woebegone" time. For all those who claim to have "better" things to do with your time, News From Lake Woebegone is a monologue Garrison Keiller does every segment, and it ranges from being humorous, to serious, to sarcastic, to satirical. Lake Woebegone is a town in Minnesota I believe. Anyway, he was talking about it being memorial day, and all of the young men who had really big dreams, and wanted to establish themselves as an individual in this world, but were killed because of war. It was sad, made me think of atonement, but at the end of his segment, he started the crowd (it's recorded in front of a live audience) in singing the star spangled banner. My dad started to sing, so I sang, and he took off his hat, and stood, and I stood, and the dogs started to bark, and together with so many people in Fairfax (where it was being recorded) we sang.

AAAH!! I must start listening to this!! I remember listening to it at your house a couple times and being kind of confused.
I think that is awesome of your Father. For many reasons. I wish I could have been there to see it. Laura, you're bonding with your father!!
Yeah, I really am and it's weird. He's completely different with me now, like he used to be in a bad mood and not really talk to me. Now I can joke around with him and he won't get mad and he tells me about life and how to cook pasta.
I wish you could have been there. Though I probably wouldn't have appreciated it if you weren't always telling me about the littles things in life that are awesome.
I don't know if that made sense.
I like how all of your comments end with... that was worded badly or if that makes sense...
I think that's awesome that yall are bonding. Seriosuly... I think as a culture we take our parents for granted waaay too much. I don't really understand why it's considered "uncool" to have a good relationship with your parents. Kind of silly if you think about it.
And yeah that made sense to me. I didn't know you actually listened to my rambles though. You tend to NOT listen to me.
Excellent, I love Prairie Home Companion. It's gen-yoo-wine American entertainment.
