My brother just called...

I will be the first to admit that I am terrible at keeping in touch with my far flung family and friends. I will also admit that I did not used to be bad at it...and while I hate to make excuses, the fibromyalgia syndrome sure doesn't help. I think that's when the decline began. Anyway, my brother called. My first thought was that something bad had happened to my parents, but luckily that was not the case. In fact it was just a touching base on everyone's "events". Four graduations, 2 high school, two college. And Jerry was just getting in touch to share dates and plans (as if we had any) so we knew what was going on. Its hard that New York keeps kids in school 2-3 weeks longer than Ohio, so we have to scramble to be there for a party in June. But perhaps we'll have to take a bye and have another party there whenever we do make it. Its too hard to coordinate all those logistics too.
