I was about ready to book them at the National Park Lodge in Big Bend, but found something a ways SW of Corpus that is a bit close but should be OK. The mayor's family is staying there as well, so they should get good news about how things are back home.
And, upon finding that he didn't face a 16 hour drive tomorrow, my dad went and took a nap.
I asked my mom why the heck he wasn't getting ready earlier. She said he always expects the best to happen.
I told her we just found the logical candidate to be the next mayor of New Orleans. After all, Texas residency doesn't seem to disqualify one from the job...
LOL. Well, why should he preapre -- he's got you!
LOL @ the nap thing! (I know how frustrating that is!)
Ah dirtboy - thanks so much for the family humor in the midst of mayhem
