• Guess Where I Went On My Summer Vacation!

  Piles of mail and laundry await, not to mention the shaggy grass outside.  So, today will be brief.

  However, once upon a time there was an extremely disorganized boy; he wouldn't even notice that the other students in his classes were handing in their homework, so he rarely turned his completed assignments in.  It took years to help him find coping strategies.  And sometimes this process wasn't very enjoyable.

  And, so, the boy grew up into a man.  Last March he began organizing a ten-day family trip for himself, his parents, his sister, his grandmother, his aunt, and his cousin.  He arranged for airplane and train reservations, hotel accommodations, special tours, and discount passes.  He could understand unfamiliar subway schedules just by glancing at them.  And everything was completely set up, without any hitches.

  In fact, his successful organization of a seven-minute train transfer including the manhandling by himself of several extremely heavy suitcases has now become part of family legend and will no doubt be repeated at holidays for years to come.

  Sometimes being a parent is great.

  THANK YOU, TREMOR3258, FOR ORGANIZING SUCH A WONDERFUL, MEMORABLE TRIP FOR US ALL!

  Tremor3258's accomplishment is even more laudable if you know where we went.  Can you guess?
