My first trip of the summer

Over Memorial Day I went to Phoenix to visit my sister. I remember before I left sort of dreading going to Phoenix at the end of May/beginning of June. All you hear about Phoenix during the summer is 100+ degree days from the beginning of May to the end of September.

However, I do have to say I was pleasantly surprised while I was in Phoenix. The temperatures were sort of moderated because it was just the beginning of summer. As soon as the sun went down, it was actually cold. I also remember every building being so overly air conditioned that it was unbearable.

I did have a great time visiting my sisterand my nephews...Bud, Scooter, and Babyzilla. My nephews have quite the keen sense about them, they also have a smart alek name for everything.





I'll never forget the ride in the van after Bud, Scooter, and I went to a toy store. I had bought them both a present. Scooter had an action figure of a Phoenix. While he was playing with it, he started talking to me:

"Uncle Abe,"

"What?"

"Do you know what my Phoenix's name is?"

"No, what is it?"

"Sally Sassy Pants."

At that point I almost wrecked my sister's car from laughing so hysterically.
