Family Ties

Rick left tonight. He was like a kid on the first day of school dressed in his favourite Hawaiian shirt and khaki pants, his back pack stuffed, and hair neatly combed. It felt so strange to see him off. I wasn't quite sure what to do after Chan and I waved goodbye and went back inside. It seems that we have been constantly on the go for weeks now putting all of the necessary arrangements in place. With Molly at her mother's now, Keaton moving stuff to his dad's and hanging out with friends, I turned to Channing and said, “Well, I guess it's just you and me now, Bub.” The dynamics of our family was changing again.

  3. Luaus in Dartford are banned in fact they are banned in the whole of Greater London and have been since the year 1666. Its a little known fact the the Great Fire of London wasn't started in a bakery in Pudding Lane, but in Dartford, when during a welcoming Luaus in a local Gin Palace for some visiting Hawain dignatries the festivities got a little out of hand and the grass skirt of the leader of the Hawain deligation caught fire, the flames spread and started to Great Fire.
