..., out of no where, this couple comes up to us. The guy is talking to his wife and is like: don't freak them out. She turns to me and asks if I'm the daughter of this couple (who have a Jewish last name, so at least they got the religion right.) I wasn't, though. In fact, I don't even know these people.

How Jewish am I? I just realized the part of Nightmare before Christmas referenced Rudolph. Just. Realized. This. *headdesk* Oy. Also. I hate realizing that one of the major reasons I want to talk to someone again is for RP, knowing it won't happen and deciding not to do it. It's... strange.

Jewish relatives. Centered around their cousins' time in the concentration camps. So…not about the Pevensies at all? The sun is warm, the sky is clear, the waves are awesome, the pay is freakin' amazing...
It's been a few weeks since I've managed to blog here; as I hope people can imagine, the kids still take up a lot of time in our lives. Nomi and I continue to enjoy being parents, and I find myself torn between wanting to post every update about the kids and not wanting to deluge the readers of this blog with all those details.
