two wednesdays ago, my mom picked me up from the airport when i got back into town after my work trip to nashville. [also side note: of all of the taxi/shuttle services, she's by far the best. she even brings a cold bottle of dasani (thanks, mom!).] anyway, on our way to brunch (did i mention her ...
