1st things 1st....... I'm staying with SG for awhile longer..... details later (sorry for the premature melodramatic goodbye blog post).

I was at the car rental centre the other day (after I smacked up my mom's civic.... opps) and I overheard the guy behind the counter tell a customer on the phone that their van's "can carry a greater payload" than the standard rental car. I don't know about you, but "payload" & "Van's" spoken in the same sentence regarding a rental vehicle usually involve some kind of terrorist plot. I really wanted to tell him that he might want to exchange "payload" with "cargo space", but I didn't feel right about being all PC.

On another note, my brother, and my niece & nephew when on boat ride today to spread my fathers ashes. It turned out to be a light hearted day, especially after my 11yr old nephew said "bye grandpa, may you rest in pieces" when he took his turn to spread the ashes. Shortly after my brother asked if anyone wanted to go swimming (obviously in a different location) and my nephew said "can we move the boat away from here first? I don't want to swim in Grandpa".
