Drat.

My mother and I are hashing out exactly where the vacation will be spent. She wants me to fly to California; I would like them to come here so that I may introduce them to my family here, Votania and Nephew and Adam but most importantly Darkside.

We'll see how it works out.

I really, really want my father and Darkside to meet each other. It would mean a lot to me.

Why?

I have this thing about introducing men I like to my parents. My mother's opinion, sad to say, is not particularly influential to me. She has her own standards. I don't always share all of them. I don't meet up to quite a few of her standards in a few very important things to me, and neither do all of my friends. But that's the way my mother is.

My father, on the other hand... there's something about his considered, scholarly opinion that carries weight with me. Perhaps it's that I tend to fall in love with men who mentally resemble my father. Perhaps it's because I respect him so very much...
