A Fantabulistic Friday in March

We're cruising through the week with all the elements of any good American life. Family drama from the mother-in-law, a new baby joins the family in far-away Australia, lots of cleaning, lots of crumbs and laundry, a little bit of writing on a daily basis no matter how worthless, and hundreds of other elements that make up a typical week in our home.

I read an article about Longmont's gentrification since the people who are both interesting and not rich, are being driven out of Boulder. If Boulder isn't careful, it'll have nothing left but trust fund slackers, bicyclists,  and college students. Longmont has a thriving art community, a wealth of writers, great view of the mountains, cheaper housing, nice parks, and a lot of events. Our farmer's market is close to rivaling Boulder's. The journalist who wrote the article tried to come up with a cool nickname for Longmont along the lines of LoDo, or NoBo but couldn't do it. I laughed about how Longmont used to be called Longtucky. No one I've spoken to around here has ever heard it called that. Personally, I think it should be our new, cool nickname. If anyone says it without some respect, we'll just kick that person's ass Longtucky style.

The relatives move in and Steve starts hiding under the clothes rack.

The second date is always better than the first, but he still did all the driving.
