28. Y'know something, madrchsod - that's really all I'm hoping for.

I'd love to see them able to afford their own place to live ('cause I know they're at the age where they're dreaming of their own apartment or condo or something), be able to keep gas in their gas tanks, insurance papers in the glove compartment, phone bills paid, food in the fridge, that sort of thing. It's always been a goal of mine - to make this a financially-sustaining enterprise so they CAN be on their own and independent. That way they can keep doing it.

Thanks for checking them out! They rock pretty hard, but Michael just came up with a ballad called "Miles from Home" that I can't listen to without crying. ABSOLUTE HANDS-DOWN BEST THING he's ever written. BAR NONE. And he's come up with some rather remarkable ones already. It's freakin' GORGEOUS - heartbreakingly beautiful! As soon as it's releasable, I'll post a link here.
