So, here are somethings I have noticed now that the family is back together.

Alex is getting funnier everyday.  And it scares the HELL out of me.  I fear he may seek a career in the entertainment industry.  Maybe even, gasp, radio.

Ben is more outgoing than when I left Knoxville. He still seems to prefer the company of adults over children, but I think even that is changing a little bit.  WHICH is a huge step for him.

Kathy and I have communications problems.  This was made very clear in the unpacking process.  Because I was not in Knoxville for the move OUT, I often had to ask Kathy where something was.  She would respond in an irritated fashion.  Finally, I explained to her, I am not asking to be a smart ass (a reasonable assumption to most anyone who knows me) but I am asking because I did not box things up, so I honestly have no idea where to look.  How she packed things made perfect sense 95 percent of the time, but I just did not know where to start.  The other five percent were those times that made sense from a space saving perspective.  Again, I wasn't there, so I honestly didn't know.

That problem was solved by Kathy coming up with a standard answer when I asked the question.  Instead of telling me she didn't know, Kathy now tells me, "It's in a box."  The problem now is.....she is becoming the smart ass.
