You mean besides flying down to Phoenix to stay with his mom whom I had never met or talked to and whose, allegedly, only knowledge of me was that I work at WalMart? She was delightful, by the way, and told me that first night that I was "as lovely as" she'd "imagined" I'd be. (No idea what she might have based that on since LoP claimed he had told her nothing but the above.) Also, according to her, I'm very easy to travel with. For my part, I got to see the Mariners beat the Rangers and the Mariners- narrowly- beat the Cubbies, I had my first In 'n' Out cheeseburger and I ate goat soup. Also, I flew on a propeller plane from Portland to Spokane.
