My Parents

My parents are hilarious.

Michael and Patricia no longer have the financial burden of two children in college. They now travel the world on a regular basis.

They go abroad so often these days that Padraic (who is engaged to my sister) suggested that they charter their own airplane. They average about 5 trips abroad a year, including weekends away.

Normally, my parents have an uncannily bad timing for phone calls. So much so, I feel guilty for cutting them off.

Once they go abroad, you hear nothing.

I received the following text from my mother this morning:

Well micko just arrived in syd opera house bridge etc what can i say brill time in melbourne brisbane sun great country 25 deg

Fantastic stuff.

That was a particularly long and descriptive message.
