It would be so wonderful if my parents and K's parents lived just a town away from eachother. Visiting would be so much easier. We'd get to see both sides of the family more often. They'd get to see us more often. They'd get to hang out together and argue over who has the cutest grandchildren. Bliss.
Plus...let's be honest...Grand Rapids could use a little diversity. Close proximity to San Antonio might decrease the preponderance of blond-haired, blue-eyed, Dutch reformed, Van Vandervans that pretty much own the west side of Michigan. I'm convinced it would, at the very least, be a fascinating social experiment.
Alternatively we could relocate Kandahar, Afghanistan right next to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This should be done just around the time of Carnival. I think that would be completely hilarious. For obvious reasons.
You're so much more charitable with your plinky wish than I was.

Yes, I see your point...although my vision of a bunch of talibs faced with the debauchery of Carnival, and of Brazilian beaches, is maybe just a little mean.
