Well I'm heading up to school soon but will be visiting my folks in Nevada. Cousin Gabe is visiting as one of his parents is ill and will be out of commission for a while. I asked Dad if he could stay in his study, but Dad simple responded that he was occupying his study. I like to think of myself as one of the smartest of the young people in my family, but I'm sure Gabe will just try to show off and impress my parents in my own home, even if he is a bit younger than me.

There will be, of course, the debate about who will sleep where, but I'm not putting up with any attitude; he can sleep on the floor.

Perhaps he and I will see eye to eye sometime, maybe work on the train layout Dad and I started years ago, or go swimming in the pool. As usual, Dad will be reading his newspaper rather than joining in on the fun.

Sometimes, life imitates art.

In other news, I decided to go to the PS this weekend. I hadn't gone for over a year and was frankly afraid to return to the body odor and fondling by strange creepy furs. Actually, it turned out to be a really nice PS, maybe even one of the best I've seen. There must have been 200+ people there (a good 20 or so fursuits). Finally met the Dogbomb in all his awesomeness and hung out with some really good friends. The PS seemed to have a really good, clean, festive, and not too weird vibe, and it was really nice. I saw so many people I hadn't seen since early last summer; all around a good reunion with a lot of good friends.
