So I've been trying to figure out a way to get Brittany down here after New Year's, and my parents have been a little unrelentingly against the idea.  Well, as luck would have it, her dad sold his tool truck, and has to deliver it to Memphis, and she is being forced against her will to come to Memphis and have lunch with me.

As you can imagine, she is incredibly upset about all of this, but I selfishly am looking forward to it.  ;)
