Unlimited package
Son: “Why don’t they use their turn signal?” Me: “They didn’t buy the unlimited package.” Son: “Huh?”
Me: “When you buy a car, you’ll have to let them know how many times
you want to use your turn signal. They put different bulbs in. The more
you want to use them, the more expensive the blinker is. They probably
bought the cheap package. You can only blink so many times.” Son, after a

Germany over the weekend; my brother and family visited the "Schloss"

One word at a time ...
Whoa, just saw the word count on the co-authored work-in-progress: 103k.
NICE.
It's taken forever to get this far. It has survived kids in and
out of school, loss of jobs, tornadoes, a move across the Pacific and
"homelessness," death and countless hours/days/weeks of "I will never be
motivated ever again." I'm super proud of this story, even if it never
sees the light of day inside a
