Flying to SFO tomorrow to spend the weekend in Napa. Kinda bourgeoisie fro my taste, but I'll get over it.

It's my father-in-law's 70th birthday, and this is his wish, so no big deal. Actually, it is a big deal, because a few months ago he found out that he has a daughter who is 48 years old that he never knew about. (Apparently, she got the DNA thing from her husband as a birthday present, then it says, "You have a 50% DNA match with Bob S. Please let us know if he's your father or son so that we can improve our records! So she calls up her mom, and asks, "Who the hell is Bob S?" "An ex boyfriend. Why do you ask?" And the rest is history, as they say.)

We'll be meeting her for the first time tomorrow or Friday. He's an emotional dude, so I can envision some tears in the offing, especially since unbeknownst to him his two grandchildren will also be there. Ancestry.com's DNA database is a hell of a drug. Anyway, my wife, her mom, and her brother and sister are also all emotional sorts, so I guess it'll be up to me to, like drive and read maps, or whatever. Should be interesting.
