He's at school in Chicago. He'll be joining them the next day; they're all going to California for all next week. (Though he'll probably leave early and go back to school.)

My dad wanted me to go, but can you imagine? Trapped in the middle of nowhere, with no way to get around, no food, and no one but my FAMILY? It's like my worst nightmare. So I invited them to come up here for a day; a couple hours I can take, a week would kill me.

Mmmm, the pizza sounds awesome! Do you have a recipe somewhere? I've never had squash on pizza.
