Parental damper

Wanted to go cycling today, but had to stick around and wait for my parents to come over. They just got back from FLA with more socks (you'd think I ate the darn things) and grapefruit. They were a little sore I opted out of visiting my aunt and uncle on their grandchild's X-ening today. I'm not much into religious ceremonies, be they weddings, or funerals, or whatever. A baptism has much less meaning to me than either a wedding or a funeral.


Figure I'll tidy up the house a bit before they stop by. It's a bit of a lost cause, though, since I've got boxes everywhere. I imagine by the final days, it'll be kinda like camping.
