your father was still trying to not flunk out of graduate school at southern illinois university at the time - he told you how much he liked to drink beer so i 'm not telling you anything here which you do n't already know - and of course you know i met your father in oaxaca , and you know how you wouldnt be with us today if i had n't slept late one morning and missed my flight out of houston , a flight which later crashed outside of guadalajara killing everyone aboard .
