big damn hero

That's how my father must have felt, pulling into the driveway and nearly being bowled over by the granddaughters, launching themselves at him. They were ALL OVER him. I really like having my parents around, particularly now that all of us have done some growing and changing in the last 5-10 years.

They're visiting an open house tomorrow, and planning to spend much of Monday house-hunting. They say they just can't stand being so far from the girls. Here, they can be close to the girls, AND a city of reasonable size AND a military base for ongoing medical benefits, etc. "Find me a job," Dad said about an hour ago.

"Shall I apply my will to the matter?" I asked. "You betcher ass," he replied. Hm.
