mamma mia

Tomorrow morning Jeff and I are planning to get up early for a road trip. We're taking the new Prius from Arlington to the mountains for a short visit with my Mom and the rest of my family. This will be the first time he's been there or met any of them. I'm looking forward to showing him where I grew up, and to showing him off to my Mom. And the weather is supposed to be warming up, 50s tomorrow, 60s on Sunday, so it'll be a nice weekend to take him to the country, and to actually get some quality time with the new car.

And it looks like we're not the only ones in this boat. This weekend Matt is meeting [the other] Jeff's folks for the first time, too.

Something must be in the air...

I hope you guys have a great time!!

Which mountains?

Word to the wise -- if you haven't already, check the air in the Prius tires. The dealer very probably delivered them below pressure to smooth the ride. Inflating them to the recommended pressure with make an astounding difference in your mileage, especially when driving on the interstate out to the mountains... and there's nothing more satisfying than seeing all those tall blue bars on the display so you brag to your family...

About me

Thom Watson was born in a "pro-America" part of the country but then grew up to become a gay, liberal, Harvard-educated atheist living in northern California. He has come to terms with the fact that this pretty much disqualifies him from ever holding public office.
