Kim: Email from Alex... Mike: What's up? Kim: She's gong to spend spring break with your mom in D.C. so she can visit some new boyfriend... Mike: Hmm...wonder if that might be somebody she met during the campaign. Kim: Or a vet with TBI living in a Virginia trailer park. Mike: Right. Can you imagine?

Your daughter may surprise you in a good way, Mike.

Is she clairvoyant? Hey, what do you see in my future?

Mike’s mom is in DC? Since when? Joanie and Rick are in DC. The widow Doonesbury is in Oklahoma, no?

I’m glad someone’s keeping track of these things.

An honest mistake on Kim’s part. After all, Mike’s relationship with Joannie predates his relationship with JJ. Joannie left her husband after the french-fry compliment incident (“My wife, I think I’ll keep her.”) and ran away with Mike and Mark on a cross-country motorcycle trip while JJ was still a minor.

I’m glad it wasn’t just me wondering. Nice to know other people are aware of the history.

I see no contradiction (yet). No reason that the widow Doonesbury can’t be on a road trip with her biker boyfriend. Probably just helping Alex find some crash space with the gang. Alex could well follow in JJ’s footsteps here – hooking up with a decent guy her first time around. Then later on dumping him to party with a loser. It would be sad, but typical of the daughter growing up to be the mother.
