Today in "How My Mother Volunteers My Services...

Sister-in-Law: Doug [my brother] is going to be out of town for about a month...I wish there was a way for us to talk easily and for him to see the kids.
Mother: oh, well you could use Skype! especially since he has his laptop with him.
SIL: true, but I don't have a computer...
M: Matthew has 2, a Dell and a MacBook Pro. I'm sure he'll let you have one of his!

Republican mayor in the South becomes unlikely... →
