getting to know my Mom and Dad better.

Don't waste a minute.

Amen, brother. I fear the years with my parents are numbered. Lost the
Father-in-Law, already.

Fortunately, once I grew up a little (when did *that* happen?) my
relationship with my parents has been great. I enjoy the time I have with
them.
