Off to visit the grandparents!

So tomorrow morning I'll be taking off to play nurse/chef/handyman for Nana and Papa over a long weekend. I made the error of assuming my travel plans would simply diffuse through the family information channels in the normal way, but evidently Nana was happy and surprised to hear that I was on my way just a few days ago. Heh. Whoops.

I have a few projects of my own to accomplish while I'm there. I got a digital voice recorder for Sandlin for her birthday and am going to fill it up with some choice stories told by Nana and Papa. The current favorites are "How I met Your Grandmother", "Biking across the country", "I was totally a spy" and "Bart getting dragged back into the Baranofv by his grandmother, on a leash". I haven't heard that last one, but Sandlins says it's one of her favorites, so I'm excited to hear it. I'll try and post the stories up here in some format or another for all to enjoy, eventually.

Also take lots of pictures- this slide show is getting tired, but we have a tough time getting appropriate ppl into a single photo- now is your chance!

Now, wait a minute . . . I may demand editing rights to any stories involving me and/or the Baranoff or leashes or little red-head girls across the street.

My agent reminds me that I have to be zealous in protecting my intellectual property rights if i want Oprah to feature my memoir on her show.

But other than that, yeah stories would be great.
