Lo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-ong Weekend!!!!

I'll be meeting my uncle Danny at New Carrolton metro stop, and driving out to Sunderland, Maryland, to spend the long weekend with his family (Nicole, my age, won't be home; she's the one who's getting married in May). It'll be a good break from D.C., where I've spent a lot of time with my little cousins this week. Their dad has been working like a madman to finish the stubborn 3rd floor, so I've been the homework-helper. I can't imagine how kids without involved parents survive in school. No wonder public schools can't help kids from non-nourishing families; my cousins could never do their homework without at least a little help and wouldn't do it without prodding.
