family reunion
yesterday was this family's equivalent of a reunion, with three of the five aunties in one place, several uncles, plenty of long lost cousins and even some of their children. having not seen any of them in quite a few years, it was wild. the thing is, despite the fact that we all looked a little different, and that most of the assembled company had eight million questions about my life in new york (i got to tell my september 11 story about six times), it was much the same as i remembered it. card tournaments, sherry trifle, free-flowing beer, racing pigeons, christmas crackers...really, the only major changes were that i was suddenly the tallest person in the room, but not the youngest.
refreshing.
