Misc....

Mom discovered my blog and read 'Driving Skills' from September. She said I forgot to mention the funniest line, which (to her) was when she told me she was considering getting a car, and I replied that it'd better be made of rubber. Hummm....

In People magazine, I learned the singer Usher called 911 when his car was keyed (he blamed his soon-to-be-ex-wife). I'm pretty sure you don't call 911 when your car gets keyed. Maybe 411 - if you're Usher. His imminent ex says she got tons of flack for being "So much older" than he is. Yeah, all of seven years! That's such a disgrace. Men have married much younger woman than that for centuries and no one bats an eye -- weird...and what about this so-called 'cougar' epidemic? Doesn't jibe...

Mom told me dad packed frozen dinners in his suitcase for his 3 days to DC. Surely you jest. I cannot believe he did this. For one they'd be totally unthawed and ***eeewwwwww*** by the time he arrives at the hotel, and I'm pretty sure uneatable. My brother says that must be why it took forever for dad to get through the airport security line -- they must have been trying to figure out what to do with that frozen food in his carry-on. (Hopefully they confiscated it). He borrowed my rolling suitcase for the trip. Gross.
