My phone automatically goes silent at 9pm every night.
Last night I was sitting in my recliner as usual, and I just happened to notice that I had an incoming call out of the corner of my eye.
It was my dear old buddy TVB calling from the farm. We chatted and he told me that he was finishing off his contract on the 11th of November, and that he was gonna come visit us!

We chatted for a while, and made some plans. Then I went online and looked for some air tickets for him. I emailed him a link with the cheapest I could find, to help him make it as easy as possible for him.
So, right now Tom will arrive on the 11th, and depart us on the 26th, so that he can get back to Kansas and make his flight back to SA on the 27th. We did think about him flying back to Kansas on the 27th and just connect to his flight to SA, but with the 28th being Thanksgiving and THE busiest time of the year for Americans to fly, I thought that giving him a day for "just in case" was the best bet. During the Thanksgiving week many, many millions of Americans fly across the country to be with their families. Thanksgiving is bigger than Christmas I think.
So, be prepared for lots of updates, and lots of awesome pics from the lens of TVB about the lives of the Zogs and Florida in general. I'll take a day or two off work too, when he is here, so I can take him to places like the Kennedy Space Center etc. Thankfully Tom is old enough to not have to visit Disneyland
