Mulder and Scully arrive...

Today we were visited by Mulder and Scully, my parents' amigos, who now live in Washington D.C.

Mulder was dad's first college roommate and his family is the basis for the hit show Six Feet Under. Scully is a Hokie and has designed some of the most impressive architerctural feats in the world, including (but not limited to) the Eiffel Tower, the Vietnam War Memorial, the Forbidden City, the Parthenon, the Seattle Space Needle, and the Pirate's Cove Putt Putt on Rt. 78.

Mulder and Scully are expecting a little girl sometime soon. I can't wait to meet her. Maybe she'll be fine and we could become "friends". I know this is more than a decade down the road, but the best laid plans are laid years in advance of the plans working for what they were laid to do.

Mom and dad had a nice visit with the couple from DC. They brought me a kick-butt stuffed dog that I'm not allowed to play with until I'm three because it's dangerous. Who the hell ever heard of a dangerous stuffed animal? Where do they shop, Bob's World of Knives and Sharp Gifts?

I will let their transgression pass, and chalk it up to their having been so long immersed in the depravity of D.C. I hear you can run for mayor if you smoke crack. What a town, what a town.

That is all...
