Welcome from the Houston area, the unofficial US Capitol for Relative Humidity.  

My daughter moved in with my wife and I when she finished her advanced degree.  She has a job as an Adjunct Professor at a state college so she is gone all day.  Since Adjuncts are paid less than public school teachers, she can't afford her own place just yet.  We only see her at dinner and...

OK,  I was off by a few minutes...
