So much family!

I've been thinking back to my recent two week vacation. I spent the first week recovering from dental surgery. I should apologize to my mother for being whiney. It wasn't me. It was those dang drugs. I spent the first half of the second week just sort of hanging around, playing tennis with my father. The end of my vacation was brilliant and hectic. EVERYONE arrived in Ottawa at once. High school friends en masse and family aplenty.

I am too lazy to arrange my memories in chronological order, I shall instead just fire my thoughts onto the page in random fashion.

- When you have a family reunion, all you're really doing is constantly wondering how you're going to feed people.

- My cousin Ryan is a dancing machine. Things are going to get interesting when he hits puberty.

- If I ever wonder where any one of my peculiar habits comes from, chances are I picked it up from someone else in my family.

- Of all the happy events in life to look forward too, family reunions are one of the few that will never let you down.

- Where did Justine learn to catch a frisbee?

- Badminton with my family is very different without Sarah there to beat us.

- It's nice to have cousin Leo to back me up when involved in complex conversations with Uncle Ming about life and morality and true love.

- My high school friends are seriously kinda growing up. But road hockey is as fun as it's always been.

It's late so must sleep. More later if my head is clear enough.
