The Afermath

Sigh... I need to read over the stuff I put up. The first paragraph in my last post needs a period in there somewhere.

Got back to the California on Friday after spending a week in Arizona. Met up with a family that I have not known for a large part of my life. Time can only tell if that trend will hold. Like my step-mom's family though, the cousins are all growing up... it's kind of funny that I'm part of the old blood that runs in Arizona--a relic of the past that somehow pops up from time to time. Apparently my family was the first one there and we ended up bringing a bunch of people over. After awhile a number of other families moved in after we moved out. It'd be good if I saw parts of that family at least once every few years instead of every half decade or so.

Apparently, I'm an uncle now... about as close to one as I'll ever get. Well... that's not really true though, there is one person that can make that situation different, but I don't think she's going to have a baby anytime soon. For those of you wondering who I'm talking about, its my one and only cousin on my father's side.

I supposed I should write something coherent on the topic of family and/or mortality, but I think I'll pass. I've sort of lost the desire to do that right now.

One a different note, I have my first interview on Tuesday... and I've put up another batch of photos.
