I finally made it! Though now that I'm here there's not much to say. Mom and Dad are here (in Oregon) now. You all may or may not have experienced this before, but Carl and Lisa go to bed early (or at least earlier than I do). Once dad decides it's bedtime, there's no stopping him. Since they are currently (like at this very moment) sleeping in my office/guestroom, I am writing this tidbit to the sleepytime chorus of Carl, Lisa, and Hoover. Dad's snoring is impressive as always. Mom adds kind of a quiet feminine little "snerf" noise to it. Hoover is of course harmonizing from his Hoo-house with little doggy snoring and humming. Weinmeisters sleep loudly.
