Poor babies! Poor Mommy and Daddy!

I've had a wonderful time in Birmingham, and will be heading back to rainy southern California tomorrow. This has been a wonderful trip for getting parts of "me" back. I'm ready to go back, though, now, for a life free of country music, worries about my aunt's finances (not that she's short of funds, but they aren't terribly savvy about newly-available techniques, etc., or their medicare prescription coverage), or avoiding politics or religion.
