Chicago

So I'm going to Chicago with Carolyn tomorrow, I'm excited! I always used to go to Chicago every Thanksgiving with my parents and its always been one of my happiest memories. I haven't been able to go for a few years now between school, work, my dad being sick and generally being older. But now is the time!

It's also a chance for Carolyn to finally be involved with a big family celebration of mine. I've been to a hojillion events with her family but I've never been able to reciprocate because half of my family is across the Atlantic and the other half might as well be they're so religious. Not religious in a bad way mind you, just very different customs. This section of the family, the Patinkins, are pretty awesome though. It's my Dad's two uncles and his aunt and their entire family. They're all very liberal and great people, so they're the family I most relate to and can relax with, even though I only see them once or twice a year. Carolyn's so close with her family, she's always worried that I have no sense of a large extended family staying in touch. She'll just see that the Goldberger's do it a little differently.

Anyway, family rant aside, I'll be out till Sunday. Keep the blog alive!
