mom.

my mom has embraced texting in a way i never would've imagined. the easy constant contact is great, but what is greater is the expression and humor that she can convey in the briefest of phrases. my parents just got public water (finally over 40+ years on a big hill in rural western pennsylvania). they are so excited. flushing the toilet, taking a shower, and doing laundry at the same time and nothing bad happens. wow.
