"But Why is the Rum Gone?"

So, the owner came up and worked on the house, my dad stayed home, and I flew to California. Surprise! It was a surprise that had been in the works since right after the new year. How exciting to pull one over on a friend, especially with multiple co-conspirators. I flew down and saw the play that she had written and a good time was had by all. I will tell fewer people that I'm coming the next time so I won't get stuck with other obligations.

It was a bit of a whirlwind trip and planes and cars didn't quite cooperate with my best laid plans, but I survived. I saw "Pirates of the Carribean" for the first time and I met my new step daddy. Eh.

But, yay, surprise!
