Thank you all.
Wifey, one twin son, & I just got back from visiting son & spouse in Phoenix, AZ (God! "Yeah ... but it's a DRY heat!"), and the jet lag was murder. Stayed in Scottsdale (nice, & very uppety-uppety) before deploying to Sedona (fantastic!), with follow-on covert operations in Las Vegas (there goes the egg money!).
Came home to a sabotaged house full-of balloons, friends, dead pig, and cake (shoulda locked up the other twin & his brother in the garage). Knew something was up when a few dozen more cars than usual were parked all up & down my lawn.
