Good and sad: A few days ago one of my cousins pulled out old pictures of my Mother and my two brothers. My Mother looks so young, but not entirely innocent. Little does she know the tragedy that is about to devastate her life. Timour is about 6 months and Yusef 4+ so I know that Yusef died months, if not weeks, after the photo was taken. Many of the relatives remember Yusef, and my mother, so fondly. It is very touching, and heartbreaking. I try not to cry too much in front of them. I can tell is makes them uncomfortable.
Bad: Even at the wireless place I cannot send pictures. I will try to catch up once we are in Budapest.
Surprising: Okay, it wasn't surprising: the Sound and Lights at the pyramid was SOOO cheesy. Glad we did it, but never have to do that again! Afterwards (2nd) cousin Mahmoud took us out to an Italian restaurant. He is 19 and drives like it's a video game. Unfortunately we forgot to charge the battery on the video camera so we only filmed for 2 minutes. Hopefully we will get to drive with him again. As we drove I challenged him with theological questions which he enjoyed, but it meant we did not always take the most direct route.

alright, alright...I confess, I was online (and am right now, in fact) at work...but you would be to if your job was dependent on UU's getting their sh** together and mailing in their district assembly registrations AND if you had a boss who swore loudly from his office/made wierd animalistic noises at his computer you would probably retreat to the safety of facebook and your friends blogs...would you not?
i hope sheri/gogi have room in a suitcase cause i'm coming along!! hope you are all having a great time. babysitting last night was great, made me sad to be around your house so much tho. :)
love.
