As is often the case when I travel, I spent more time than I should have trying to fix computers (moms turned out better than bros). Still, I got to hang out with my brother and his kids, Matt, Chickie, and  Jose, and  got to spend gobs of time with my sister and her little ones Dustin and Neyna. I watched them both play soccer matches on Saturday. Both teams won. On Monday night, they tried to teach me how to play &#8220;Monkey Golf&#8221; on Nintendo Game Cube. I lost. Oh well. Meanwhile, Matt-man has come down with a bad case of &#8220;British Cancer&#8221; and now can only speak with a proper English accent. I also got to take my mom to one of the local Indian casinos (she calls it a &#8220;health spa&#8221;) and, as I was losing twenty two sum-odd dollars, watch as she won $320 dollars off a two penny machine.<\/p>\n<p>As always, the trip was too short and things were left undone. I  did clean out the roof gutters at my moms, but didn&#8217;t get around to hanging  curtain rods for mom.  For all the trips I&#8217;ve taken to the area, I STILL have not been to Mt. Rainer or had a meal in the Seattle Space Needle. But alas, there are things that must be done here at home, and I&#8217;m glad to be back. Will write more soon.<\/p>\n<p>PS.\u00c2\u00a0Memo\u00c2\u00a0to\u00c2\u00a0self\u00c2\u00a0-\u00c2\u00a0Never\u00c2\u00a0again\u00c2\u00a0pack your laptop and phone and forget\u00c2\u00a0to\u00c2\u00a0bring\u00c2\u00a0their\u00c2\u00a0respective\u00c2\u00a0chargers.\u00c2\u00a0I\u00c2\u00a0just\u00c2\u00a0spent\u00c2\u00a0<strong>FOUR\u00c2\u00a0DAYS<\/strong>\u00c2\u00a0of hell without these devices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_toolbar\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/share-medium.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top: 5px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services_t=new Array(\"Twitter\",\"Facebook\",\"Google Plus\",\"Pinterest\",\"Linkedin\",\"StumbleUpon\",\"Digg\",\"Reddit\",\"Bebo\",\"Delicious\");var hupso_background_t=\"#EAF4FF\";var hupso_border_t=\"#66CCFF\";var hupso_toolbar_size_t=\"medium\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_url_t=\"\";var hupso_title_t=\"I%26%23039%3Bm%20Baaaaaaack%21\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/share_toolbar.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div><p>Of coarse, judging from the voluminous mass of readers that flock to my little corner of the blogiverse, not more than maybe three people will notice.
