United gave me $300 for the inconvenience of arriving home 45 minutes earlier than I'd planned, and getting routed through the best airport bar in the country. That I know of. If you're a smoker.
Mom asked me if I remembered this. I used to do this with palm-sunday palms all the time, but it turns out Mom kept this one and framed it fairly beautifully. My religious views have probably changed since then, but it's still an honour.
Aunt Gina showed us some land that our family owns. Well, owned. We think the county might have taken it back, since we haven't payed taxes on it in 125 years or so. We think probably one of us is pointing at it.

Headed to Knoxville for Mom's Masters Graduation, which somehow took three ceremonies. Two aunts, two (other) brothers, and a Dad came too, and we had, of all things, high quality family time. Terrifying.
