Dad had a date today...with his new nurse. Mom's ok with it. I could make a joke here about Big Love, but I won't.

Mom says she's really nice and reminds her of Molly Gilpin. How's that for a blast from the past? But I've heard that those of you who know Molly aren't down with the Internet anyhow...fogies! (Couldn't help but to make that jab...)

M & D ventured out for a few errands today (I'm still surprised about that). Mom said dad didn't even use his walker at all the whole day.

I'm anxious to get there and see for myself all of this remarkable progress. I pledge to upload many photos and relay great tales of courage, perseverance and familial pride.

Oh, and dad gave mom a little pinch on the rear, so that confirms that life is returning to normal. AT LEAST IT WASN'T THE NURSE!
