ReplyDeletei promise that, if y'all make it back our way this summer, i will guarantee a DC license plate...and might actually be able to get you a Delaware one, too.
And, courtesy of you and Mike, I'll be humming 'the painted desert' by 10,000 maniacs for the rest of the evening. which is, actually, not a bad thing.
welcome home!
