Sent an email to family and friends this evening. Letting them know of my impending move to the east. (I had a feeling it would soon be spreading around.)

I got a response from one of my cousins that brought a smile to my face. After the regular "good luck" stuff, he incluced this note:

"BTW, thanks for calling your sisters down in [yonder - my word not his] when I was going down there a couple months ago - I don't know what you said, but after I couldn't get ahold of them on my own for awhile, I heard back from them about twenty minutes after talking to you. ;-)"

My response: "After being an older sister for 20 years, I've learned how to put the fear of God into my siblings" I think it's more that they want to stop the nagging. I'm good at that. All my great talents are not very marketable ones.
