Naomi attends Washington State University in Pullman (yes, Susanna graduated from University of Oregon, Ilana from University of Washington). Two major events there, Dad's Weekend in the fall and Mom's Weekend in the spring. Generally we would try to ignore this but apparently it's a BIG DEAL. Dennis figures Naomi would like him to show up. She has a single room so he could sleep there. Of course, Dad's Weekend is scheduled during a home football game (in this case vs UCLA). Dennis really tries to have nothing whatsoever to do with football.
Aside: the problem with being a 4th child. Burnt out parents. Not willing to go to skating parties, math nights, etc etc.
Apparently they go all out with activities. The football game, natch. A big name comedian will appear if you want to play big bucks. Lots of other things, if only we could figure out what they are. My friend Mark went last year, his daughter hadn't planned a thing, but this year they have it much more together including lots of cooking.
Definitely will be snowing going over the pass. He's going with a friend from work. They have a 4 wheel drive vehicle which seems like the ticket going over the Cascades in snowy November. Dennis still thinks he's going to take the Prius with chains.
No respite though, there's Mom's weekend in March!
We'll await the report....
