I am in the process of moving again. I move a lot. It’s probably something that I will be remembered by some day. Anyhow, I had the genius idea of moving little by little. Every night a little bit. Last night was kitchen night. Check out the pic below. Please don’t ever move your dishes [...]

1. When you don’t have to take your shoes off at airport security.
2. When you can buy a beer, and then drink it while walking around the airport.

This is pretty funny. My mother sent me an email about her having to watch this terrible movie with my dad. I asked her why, and this is what she wrote back.
