about last weekend: i remember cousin russell telling stoop and me what the goal for the bar tab was and then i remember getting off a plane three days later at o'hare and seeing an old schoolmate dash up the escalator with his cello.
in between was fuzzy, but i do know this: there was boogying, there was a sundae bar, there was a man who airbrushed "eggboy" and a picture of a chihuahua onto a t-shirt for me. and that much family in one place at one time? oh it really doesn't get much better than that. it didn't matter that approximately 12 people over the course of the weekend thought i was 16 years old, i still did my part in helping cousin russell reach his bar tab goal, with a side of one more caviar toast, please. (i mean...?!)
recovery came in the form of a little day trip to sarasota to celebrate george's birthday on the beach with some very delightful homies. we played bean bags and ate quiche, we gossiped, we avoided sunburn.
