Grandpa and Grandma F. stopped by today. Grandpa is 70 and still road trippin’. Amazing. Yet, this is probably the last long one they’ll do seeing as they came from California, visited my parents and brothers in Colorado, came here to visit me, and are heading to Cabella’s and then South Dakota.

We had a fun time hanging out. I was tired ’cause they came to the house at about 9AM and I’d only had four hours of sleep. I answered many of their questions which all revolved around “what are you doing next with your life?”, “are there any girls? I heard you need to work on technique, but I won’t say who told us that”, and “how did your trip to Japan last summer go?”.

We went to the Union. Grandma purchased a few things with “University of Nebraska” on it, including a frisbee for the dog to play with. Do teeth-marks constitute sacrelige? Oh, and the university computer store is now in the Union. I want a 17inch PowerBook. * Drool * Yao Ming is a good advertising tool.

Lazlos for lunch. Now they’re gone to Cabella’s. My grandpa loves going to Cabellas. He and I both have a lot of respect for the Second Ammendment to the Constitution of the United States of America.

I’m exhausted, but I had a great time with them. I learned a few things, too. Apparently the family has been in America for about five generations. My Great Grandpa F.’s mom came from Lisbon, Portugal (cool town!). It’s less certain about when Great Grandpa F.’s family came, but his father probably came from Portugal. One of the other branches of the family came from Ireland or Scotland about five generations back.

That’s all I know. Genealogy is interesting and it’s fun to know the history, but it seems to get lost relatively quickly as one generation dies without leaving the facts for the following. Alas, but everything fades out in time. It is the doom of mortal men.
