i'm back in virginia with the parents for the holidays. it's extra painful because my brother is in kuwait right now, not so much because I miss him but because that means I get 100% of my parent's attention, about 99% more than I want. i'm writing this from a starbucjs on ft.belvoir. apparently coffee is very important to national security. lazyj and tom and I were twittering, saying we never post. i'm proving them wrong by posting from my new phone. hence the poor capitilization and spelling.

so i'm going to write some of the great things I hear my dad say. hr's got one of those non functioning brain filters where he just says whatever he wants regardless of how much sense it makes.

here's one:

me: kmart is still in bysiness here?
dad: yup. I don't know how either, only hispanics shop there.
me: well hispanics have money too.
dad: well...yeah.

reminds me of the time tom's mom asked him if he had a problem with the wet backs.

ok more to come later. let's see if this whole posting by phone thing works...
