The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

There are many and varied reasons why I have no intention of going to South America. This is just one of them. The giant spiders is another one.
My chief reason was watching a Discovery Channel special about a woman whose plane broke up while flying over the Amazon. She survived the fall and managed to walk out of the rain forest to safety on her own, but not before HAVING TO USE HER ENGAGEMENT RING AS A HOOK TO DIG THE GIANT MAGGOTS OUT OF HER SKIN AFTER STINGING FLIES LAID EGGS IN HER!

That is NOT a challenge.
Right?

It was merely a statement of fact.
In other news, I'm trying to come up with activities to do with my folks while they're here. My mom always wants to do wine country but it's not feasible given the amount of time they're here. Then I thought...Santa Barbara has wineries. Maybe we can do that on Sunday.

OOOOH! Fun! Wineries are always fun. And you can do a pretend Sideways. Minus the infidelity.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
AAA has a wineries map?
I give them money, they need to give me that map.
edit: Three As, not two. AA passing out winery maps would be wrong.

Oh thanks! That would be great.
AA passing out winery maps would be wrong.
But funn-ee.
