I'm sorry to hear about your parents not coming, again. Isn't that always the way - when you want to see them, it just doesn't happen, but when you don't, theeeere they are.

I am jealous of you and all your insanely wonderful bookcase space. Oh, to have that much space for books, and not have them languishing in boxes! My poor books. :(

Also! I feel inspired. I think I might make you something, today, to kill time before I leave for the airport. :D
