I think I knew most of these...but the deer hitting you, how did I miss that one? it must have been after my time or Im sure we would have beat that one into the ground! I think I need to come in and buy that Nanette dress, its been so long and Adam told me to go shopping. We do need to go to the bajio...no one ever goes there with me anymore. Call me so we can fine dine.

What a nice welcome back treat. However, the grey hairs and salt-and-pepper hair? Are you sure you want to be posting that concern online for all to read?

You didn't include any of the really important info like how you like to have movie nights with Mom when you're home, just so you can have an excuse to sleep in my bed, or the fact that your really detest sarcasm, which is why it flows so freely from you, or the fact that you could never review movies for a major newspaper, because while you enjoy a number of genres of film, you STILL can't bring yourself to enjoy a good horror flick -- wonder who you got that gene from!!!
