excessor just planned a trip to Houston over the weekend to visit his mom while she recuperates from surgery, which seemed like a bad time for me to meet her for the first time, so I'm not going. Which means I'll be kinda lonesome over the period from Friday until his return Tuesday. Most of the usual suspects will be up at the River enjoying Lazybear, but I'll be down here enjoying (?) the unaccustomed aloneness. Oh well, it's only for a few days....
