Ah, you. :D Your father makes me smile, heh. I'm sorry, I know it's at your expense, but lol, those speeches of his...it must be so exasperating, but aww! He reminds me of my grandfather, who always used to ask about the boys at uni, if I'd met anyone I liked, etc. etc. *shakes head fondly*

Ha, I've been to California, too bad I didn't know you then! Unfortunately, I don't think it's likely I'll be flying out there, though I'll keep your offer in mind. :P *hugs back*
