thank you parents

Dinner on our extra dining room table shoved into the living room, between the TV and the couch. No matching plates, paper napkins, only a couple of wine glasses, but lots of wine.


The parents came in droves for Thanksgiving. I was the most thankful that Dale and Mom didn't wear matching Cubs hoodies.

This one, on a boat tour around Manhattan, goes a little like this..."Dave? What's that tall building with lots of windows next to the tall one with less windows? Have you been there?"

Dave and his mom singing together. Adorable.
A cold, cold walk in Prospect Park. I mistakenly thought
I had thick skin from Chicago and wore only a trench coat.
We went to a wine bar, one of the best pizza places in Brooklyn, a cabaret show sung in five languages, gliding around Manhattan on a boat, and walking through Bryant Park. It was family bonding at its finest. And we got a Christmas tree with tinsel.
