Into the Fray
My parents headed home this morning after 4 whole days of familial bliss at the new Spygeek Manor. They came out to help me get the house in order, in light of Brian's attempts to kick it (and subsequent invalidity) and it being our first house and all that. I did feel bad asking Mom to add a second coat of paint to our bedroom after she'd already spent two days on priming and painting, but hey, she volunteered. Dad built me some pull-out shelves for my kitchen cabinet and hooked up the icemaker and did all of those other things that handy Dads do, like wandering around with cans of WD-40 and lubricating random squeaks and rattles.
So, they've left now, on their way to Indiana to spend a few more days with my brother before coasting back to PA in time to vote. It was nice to see them but I think 4 days is my limit on parental interaction these days. Any longer and the constant need to repeat oneself, confusion over how to work the TiVo, and complaints about the too-strong coffee would have been the end of me, I am sure.
