As The French Say...

Au revoir!

As a Christmas present, my family all got tickets to a cruise.

My huge floppy Kentucky-Derby, "I'm ready for my close-up now" sun hat is packed. I've already heard my dad say the word "snorkel" for the first time in his sixty-two-year existence. My vegan brother is bringing along an entire suitcase full of organic nuts. I'm sure it will be a...time.

Tend to the farm while I'm away.

You are all excellent advice givers, and I shall send you virtual sand dollars and sea shells upon my return. Also a virtual cabana boy (or girl. Or both.) for each of you.
