Family ties

Why haven't I written for the last two weeks, you ask? Not because I've been busy. Not because nothing has happened. But simply because I haven't felt like it. So, sorry. Kind of.

But here's something that made me laugh:

Earlier today, Rachel, Paul, Janice, Nick and I got an email from Chad with the subject, "New Thanksgiving Day tradition." Here's what he proposed:

So I was trying to think of something that all of us could begin doing, as a family, that would really bring everyone together on Thanksgiving.  It's such a great holiday and a tremendous time to spend with family and friends.  The history of it all is also something that should be remembered on that great day.  As I pondered these two thoughts, I arrived at the perfect solution.  I propose we celebrate Thanksgiving in Miami this year.  I can think of no place better for all of us to truly appreciate Thanksgiving this year than Miami, FL.  I mean Columbus landed just 400 miles south of Miami and had this not occured, who knows if this great land would have ever been founded, as we know it.  I know as everyone considers this they will agree with my thoughts and I look forward to spending Thanksgiving in Miami with all of you this year.

On a COMPLETELY separate note: while we are down there, it could be fun to take in the Bears-Dolphins game that night.

Nevermind that Nick and I both work on Black Friday, Chad says. He's sure our respective bosses would appreciate the significance of Miami enough to give us that day off.
