11/25/09: T was pointing out that since we've been to Yellowstone, we should go to Purplestone next.

6/09: When my nephew, C, was visiting, he didn't remember N's name. He was trying to tell me something about N by saying, "The Long One"! I knew EXACTLY who he was talking about! My 5'9" 13 year-old!
