I really need to write that submission for This American Life. Like yesterday.

I just got off the phone with dad, again. Who called me today because he can't call my brother. For reasons I won't get into. What did he call to talk to me about? Orchids, my grifter uncle (his brother), Bush's new privatized plan to replace Social Security, and to ask about any gossip i've heard regarding my mom's side of the family. I tried to record the conversation with my digital recorder, but unfortunately, it's memory was filled up already- so no recording crazy dad for me today. :(

And he can really come up with kooky shit to say, too.

My family is weird.

Just out of curiosity...

...does anyone know what happened with Elf Only Inn?

It came back, kept updating, went to keenspot, and then went on hiatus- with only the briefest of notes as to why.

Just wondering. I miss it. I'm probably not alone, either. :(
