the how-to on avoiding time in the slammer or unwanted spam in your inbox:
1. never trust a 15 year-old when he promises he's run something by his guardian. one of my sweet lost boys hitched a ride with me back to colorado city yesterday -- the polygamist city in southern utah where he lived for the first 14 years of his life. he assured me he'd cleared it with the powers that be. and so we happily went to the compound and off the grid as far as cell phones go. by the time i got back into cell phone service i had 7 voicemails from the aforementioned guardian. they started out nice enough with gentle yet worried inquiries... then turned fearful and downright menacing. the word "kidnap" might have been mentioned. after a long drawn-out peace process, we're cool and i don't expect to spend time in the slammer THIS trip to utah. still. lesson learned.
2. you know those "free offers" that come to your email inbox? turns out they are not free. you are not going to get a free mac laptop or a camera or a lifetime supply of groceries for filling out a survey. i know they SAY you will but they lie.

It's never fun to learn these valuable lessons the hard way...but no doubt you're a better person for it. ( :
Oh my what have you done now?
I hope that didn't mean you had to marry the 15 year old and be his first wife. Although, from what I hear on Big Love, first is best.
