It's my Dad's 50th birthday.

well – not today..but a few days ago… ok, it was a week ago. BUT that's not the point.

The point is that I'm in Noel, Missouri, typing on a Linux computer (don't tell my Mac, she might get jelsous!). You see, Em and I flew down here (and boy, were our arms tired!!) to surprise him.

He was so surprised to see us that he had to look twice before he figured out who I was.

Now we hanging out with family – my bro, sister-in-law and crew came up from Texas – before going to Nashville for more visiting.

Hey, someone has to support the travel industry.
