Welcome Back!



My cousin Jake is safely home from Baghdad. He also got to meet George W. Bush.

At our grandparents' house, there was a clipboard filled with drawing paper for us kids. I would usually develop some 8-year-old artistic masterpiece, and Jake would offer his revisions when I wasn't looking. Unfortunately, I did not consider the drawings to be under the umbrella of "collaborative projects", and we often had some creative strife as a result.

Afterwards, we would go to the kitchen and eat straight Nestle Quick powder.
