World War III

The in-laws are visiting this weekend to help celebrate Rain's 8th bday. I have a cold which means my tolerence levels are low. George (my father-in-law) insists on discussing what constitutes a world war citing his wealth of knowledge gained through watching CNN. My mother-in-law (Steffi) has holed up in our bedroom watching Marlene Dietrich films of which she no doubt is taking pointers on melo-drama. I debate the pros and cons of taking copious amounts of drugs as a means of enticing the sun to come back out. I nod and smile and keep my mouth shut and concentrate on Rain being happy.
