Holiday wrap-up

My holiday is over. I loved my trip to california. I loved being beat at othello by my nieces and nephews. I loved discussing "the omnivore's dilemma" with my 14 year old nephew. I love hanging out at airports. I love little cups of tomato juice on planes.

this evening I went to dinner with my usual gang of guys plus a couple new ones. I never feel out of place with them. I never thought i'd be "just one of the guys," though, so it still surprises me that I can go to dinner with 6 men and not be phased by it. If anything it felt like family. Right at home.

And tomorrow we're going schlecking!
