We all got mani and pedis today. Then it was off to Alcatraz. The new tour is great. It isn't much different from the one I had heard several times before. So if you are planning to visit and want to go to Alcatraz know that you are going to be going that one alone. Seriously I could almost recite the old one word for word. And it is an automated audio tour not by a park ranger led tour. The first time I went I was hoping for the tour guide from the movie "So I Married an Ax Murderer." It is one of my favorite movies. Stars Mike Myers. The tour guide was Phil Hartman. He was hilarious. So I was a little dissapointed the first time I went and just basically strapped a radio around my neck.
In the gift shop was an author signing his book about Alcatraz. He was a former inmate. Now would you ever voluntarily go back into the place which was the scene of some of your darkest moments? I don't think I would.
Alright that is it for today. I am tired. We did a lot of walking today.
Oh and one more thing. My sister has always looked young. When I was in high school she would occasionally chaperone band trips and often other band members would ask if she was my girlfriend. (She is 8 years older than my brother and I.) I was horrified. I mean we were close but we weren't that close. Well anyway, yesterday I took her and my niece to see the church and while we were there they met the methodist church's pastor and office manager. As we were leaving the office manager said to me "enjoy your nieces." Nieces?! Apparently now I don't look like my sister's boyfriend. I look like her uncle!!!!!
Alright, I hope you all are reading. Because I'm talking about it on Friday.

I'm seven years older than my little brother. Last year when I was back in Alaska for my annual summer visit, the two of us went mini-golfing. As we finished paying and picking out our clubs, etc, the guy sent us off to the course with some comment about us dating. My brother and I couldn't believe it, as nothing remotely like that had ever happened before in our lives! I'm not sure if it means he looks old or I look young (personally I think we both look pretty young; it's in our genetic make-up). Or maybe the guy just assumed that we were close enough in age to be dating. In any case, we both thought it was pretty hilarious.
No, you don't look that old . . . I don't care HOW young your sister looks!
