Hey Jakey,

What do you think? I have a choice this week. I think I already know what your answer is going to be because you're bored as hell. But here goes anyway: we can stay home on my days off, and clean the house because it's driving me bugnuts, or pack up the truck and make the trip "home" to San Jose for a few days (Tuesday-Friday).

Here are the reasons why we *should* go: your daddy's mom is taking off for Arkansas next week for an entire month, and she should see you before she goes; as stated above, you are very bored and need to get out of the house; *I* am very bored and need to get out of the house.

Reasons why we should stay home: I really-really-really need to clean the house (cuz daddy's sure as hell not going to do it...); I don't want to drive cuz I'm tired of driving and daddy's car is death-on-wheels with those tires of his; I don't relish spending my precious days off with your daddy's parents.

The reasons that I would actually *want* to go: a trip to the beach, Recycled Books, Japantown (all of which require money...).

Here's another thought: If we go, before we take off I need to have the truck washed and detailed by those swarthy Latino hotties down at the carwash, mostly to get the cigarette smell out. If daddy found out that I was sneaking smokes again, he'd KICK my ass.

So, I'm leaving it up to you. Whatever you think we should do. Think very carefully about this, Wolf-Boy...
