You say potato, I say Mmmm, Fries.
I have lots of things I keep meaning to post about, but never get around to doing. This is just a quick pop-in to mention my upcoming trips. I won a trip to San Francisco last summer, which we've planned for mid-February. It's only 3 days and 2 nights, but it's a vacation from here, so that's all good. I've already booked tickets online to the aquarium and a site-seeing boat cruise around the harbour, seeing the Golden Gate bridge, Alcatraz, etc. The Hard Rock Cafe is on the same pier the cruise leaves from, so we'll probably lunch there.
We're going to New Jersey in May and will be going in to New York City for the day to see a show on Broadway and wander around. At my wife's suggestion, I'm online trying to get us tickets to a TV show taping that afternoon. The shows she wants? Emeril or Martha Stewart. Shows I want? Daily Show, Colbert Report, or Conan O'brien. If that is not the perfect microcosm* of our household, I don't know what is. We'll probably end up going into the city, Lunch at the Hard Rock Cafe, going to one of these show tapings, wander Times Square, and then seeing Wicked. I'm looking forward to the trip. As much as we fight and she annoys me, I still miss my Mother and look forward to seeing her(I'll probably regret that a day or two into the visit), and of course my sisters are there. My older sister, we've already planned a 3 day side trip driving to Washington DC with her and her boyfriend. I feel very strongly about attending the Holocaust museum there, and then we'll also do some other site-seeing, I'm sure. It's the Nation's capitol. (We'll also go to the Hard Rock there too.)
The younger sister, I'm going to make an effort to get close to. We're 15 years apart, and I don't feel like I have alot in common with her. She's very difficult to talk to on the phone, very mono-syllabic. "How's school?" "OK" "What's new with you?" "Nothing." "(Fuck this) Is Mom there?" Online, the few times we have chatted, SHE GIEVS MA A HEADACH3 B/C SHE TYP3S LIEK THIS!!! My wife has already decided that we're going to take her out for dinner and a movie one night and visit with her without our parents. I'm afraid of 2 things. A)I'll run out of things to discuss with her after the first 10 minutes. B)I don't want to hear about her 14 year old sex life. Maybe not a valid worry, but it's mine so fuck off. This turned into a much longer post than I thought it would be when I sat down. Cool.
*I may be mis-using the word microcosm here, but fuck it.
