i got a very interesting email from my mom this morning:
"Your dad got a phone call last night asking if he had a basketball rim up in his shed. He thought it was a weird question, but he told them, yes, he did. He was asked if his barn was the old fashioned type; he told them, no, it was a tin shed but that they play ball in it all of the time. I guess that Obama is coming into Laporte County the next few days and has asked to play basketball in some farmers barn and whoever it was thought of your dad. A neighbor has an old fashioned barn with a rim in the hay mound but it is full of hay and probably wouldn't work. So today, your dad is going to find out if he is going to be coming to our farm or the other one! Your dad is so psyched!"
wow. why is it that the only exciting thing ever to happen back home happens when i'm 14 hours away?

Dude! Awesome! Call the presses! Bring out the cameras! (Joe-send your new camera back home-quick!)
WHAT?!?!?!
The press is sure to be there. This is just a photo op to show that Obama is down for rural America. I'm sure he'd rather be doing something else, but he's got to connect and all that. It's all just political theater.
Totally cool for your parents though.
WHAT?????
Hilarious!
When would this happen?? I'll be in town saterday, perhaps I'll drop by... ;)
