>I feel pretty lucky to have my folks down here. (Sometimes.)
 
Well, my parents are only an hour and a half away, but I don't generally
visit unless my father's out of town...we don't get along. Nothing
really serious, mind you; he's just not terribly bright and somewhat
closed-minded. (When my parents were first introduced to the concept of
'moshing' at a thrash concert, for example, Mother said 'Sounds like
fun' and Father said 'You shouldn't do that...you can get AIDS.' This is
in a nutshell a capsule summary of both of those people.)
