Rather than retell the story here, you can see my Mom’s take on it, in picture and words.
Addendum: I should also pass along the reminder from my Dad, which came in this morning with “Weird Visit” as the subject line.
Holy cripe! Complete with some resounding thumps on the door instead of the doorbell, I just had a disturbing visit from two guys who identified themselves as local FBI. Turned out they were looking to talk to you and wondered if you were here and if not, where you were. I thought to call Mark [Last Name Redacted By b!X] rather than answering them but instead asked them why and what their interest in you was. Oh, no trouble, they said, just under the No Misdeed or Misstep Left Behind provision of the Patriot Act, they’d been going through local “permanent records” and noticed it was time to wish you a happy nineteenth anniversary of your criminal career. And they were right, so happy anniversary.
He has never once failed, each year since, to so remind me, although this is the first such reminder that in my pre-coffee just-awakened mind made me very confused.
