I had the pleasure of sitting in the passenger seat while Nathan drove me and Ryan into Sacramento. We were headed for a tour of the Capitol as something to do while John’s parents were visiting. Since we sold the Suburban last year, taking two cars has come up a number of times. I noticed how smoothly Nathan accelerated each time the light turned green. So smooth I had to look out the window to make sure we were actually…
So I’ve noticed the last several times I’ve done a load of laundry, that Nathan’s shirts are always turned inside out. I have this thing about reversing clothes and socks. I don’t do it. If either the boys or John take off their socks inside out, they get washed inside out and folded inside out.

I was prepared to hear about the upcoming football game or PSAT testing dates but was pleasantly surprised, instead, to find out about the First Annual…
I don’t like to interfere with the business dealings Nathan and Ryan have. I am confident that they can handle them effectively and ethically. A year ago I probably wouldn’t have included the word ‘ethically’ but given what’s happened since then, focusing on ethics has become pretty important. Nathan has a little side business where he drives kids to and from school…for gas money. If you read an earlier post where I wrote about two empty seats in his car…
