Not doing that again.... Mom would be all whiny when she couldn't have her McDouble and mocha frappe... I told her that crap was bad for her. Her response was 'I'm 84 years old, I can have what I want... it's only 500 calories'... yeah 500 calories of sugar and fat....

I'm glad they are still around, but I think this is probably the last road trip they need to be doing. Mom wouldn't have got out of the car, if I hadn't stopped every couple of hours for potty stops and to make them walk some...

This afternoon, I'm off to LA for three days... I return Thursday about midnight....
