Half-bro is working up in Montana for the month and has my litter of nephews. Sister-in-law flew from FL to South Dakota to him but connected in Dallas so I went up to the Dallas airport to see her and meet my niece. She’s super adorable, naturally. (and she’s just chewing on her thumb here. i’m not breastfeeding).
Sis-law started talking about how they’re going to see Mt Rushmore in SD before driving across to Montana. I’ve never seen Rushmore (only the Wes Anderson movie). She said “why not come see Rushmore and the kids and then fly back?”. Obviously that woulda been impossible cuz I hadnt packed, have work to do and her flight was only 2 hours away… then I remembered i’m Richard & I do whateverthefkkiwant & now i’m seeing Rushmore tomorrow with mah nephewwwwz.
