Another year, and this time the parents aren't around. With Mother in Colorado and Father in Israel (and Sis in Long Island, of course), it leaves just me and lil' sis together for the holidays. Not that they mean that much to either of us, but there's something about trying to please your parents year after year that makes the time feel special. And there's also that little consideration that my birthday is nestled among the high holidays. And so, for these reasons (and a few more), I gave myself the present of a trip. I've already mentioned that, but I figured it was worth saying again. Because I'm going to New York. And that's cool.

Father was sad to think we wouldn't be breaking the fast together. What he doesn't know is that lil' sis and I will probably celebrate Yom Kippur by bringing some people to Mother's place for drinks.

Also, Steve points out to me what the problem is, plaintively wondering why I didn't warn him. Well, Steve, that's just the way it goes.
