I just got a call from Wayne, and they're on the road from Houston back to Arlington at the first of what will probably be many, many bathroom breaks. Bathroom breaks are good. My cousin, Cathy, and I used to spend our summers with our grandparents, Lomamma and Papa. Much of the summer was spent in the back seat of a 1977 Lincoln Town Car travelling around Texas. We did not have bathroom breaks. We had a Maryland Club coffee can. God forbid anyone complain that it's 120 degrees Fahrenheit in August in Presidio, Texas, which probably makes it about 140 degrees inside the navy blue Lincoln. This immediately launches a lecture of what life was like before cars had air conditioning. I can't wait to lecture someone's grand kids some day about how when I was growing up the only channels we had were 4, 5, 8, 11, 13, and UHF. If we wanted to change the channel, we had to stand up and walk to the television set.
I think it's been a few years since Nolie has been to Houston, because she says she has never seen the giant Sam Houston statue before.

Whatever it takes, scotch, real Italian food, fun-to-say words, Brian has to keep writing. I've learned more about being a Foose than I did growing up being one. The blog take some of the sharp edges off Jerry and Nolies' push to stay with us. Thanks, Brian.

Brian does have a way about him, and, thanks to the blog, many more people are getting to experience it. Love ya!
Brian is a lunatic. I've known that since he and Cathy would come to Laredo to visit Lomamma and Papa in Laredo. I love that he never quite grew up!
