Awesome Debbie is awesome. She listened to me babbling about our trip this weekend, and said, "Do you have a portable DVD player?"

I said, "No, but I have a shiny new laptop that can play DVD's."

She said, "I've heard it's not a good idea to play movies on a laptop in the car. Can cause drive crashes. I have a portable DVD player, I'll bring it for you tomorrow." That will give Rosa something to do, anyway. I just have to make sure she keeps it turned away from me so I don't get distracted by the colorful moving things.

This is going to be interesting. Rosa and I are going to Wisconsin to visit my parents, who are temporarily back from Peru. I scheduled the trip in part because there's an elementary school class reunion on Sunday, and I'm going to go, Gods help me. I figure this will either be a lot of fun or a funny story. Either way, I'm sure y'all will be the first to know.

My class was the last one to attend that particular school, as it was closed after our sixth grade year (1979-80...so it was thirty years ago that we started sixth grade). The building was then repurposed for offices, but has subsequently been demolished entirely.
