Zack and I are flying out of Colorado today, headed out for our ‘real’ vacation in LA.  Whereas I am really excited to get to LA and do all of the sunning and the hanging out and whatnot, I will miss these people here.  I’ll miss Amy and Sam and their company and my 5 and 3 year-old cousins for their unique points-of-view and sudden outbursts.

I mean, it’s not like their points-of-view are profound or anything, it’s just that they are funny.  Yesterday we were driving down the road and there was a car dealership with a giant inflatable dog (before yesterday, I’d always seen these as inflatable gorillas).  Seth, 3, and I were in the middle of a very heated battle of Rock Paper Scissors when he looked up and screamed, “GIANT DOG!” at the top of his lungs. 

When was the last time you appreciated a GIANT DOG?
