As tomorrow's party marks our debut as a family, We've been talking about what that actually means.

If i thought this was actually you talking, i might listen.

Less money for me when you die? We were thinking more along the lines of some guidelines.

Guidelines? for what? For life together. i mean, now that we're all here,

Having some rules would be nice. like what? Like every friday, we dine as a family. uh, don't you think monday would be-. A ekend curfew of 1:00 a. m. is that eastern or pacific?
