Your Itinerary looks great! I want to see US one day (I went when I was like 10), but can't seem to drag myself away from the dis long enough to go there (I can't seem to get a trip long enough that I could drag myself away)

Can't wait for it to get posted. (I always mess up August and April, not that I don't know when they are, I just say the wrong one...silly us!)

I just wanted to go a little bit for a moment. Not too off topic though, because what i want to say relates to walt disney!

I always remember when I was on SSE or World of Motion the imagineers always had a scene for communication and progress. After all, Progress was Walt Disney's thing he loved it and loved to dream about it. Well last night, I made that scene come alive and realized that Walt was right all along. Like Steve Jobs had predicted that one day everybody would have personal computers, Walt always predicted the various ways we were going to communicate and he always emphasized video communication.

Some know that yesterday was Passover. Also, some may know that my family is Jewish. For 20 years in a row I have celebrated Passover with my family. Not to get into a religious debate, but I partake in it solely for tradition, because I love my family and I love the traditions that we have. This is the first year I would not be celebrating Passover with my family. No reading of the seder (pronounced SAY-DER) (right like i really cared about missing that boooring) no hanging out with my cousins before the seder, and most importantly no matzo ball soup scared1: ) so needless to say, I was a bit upset. For comparative reasons, own Passover up to be sort of like a christmas eve dinner, especially if a christmas eve dinner is something you have took part in for 20 years.

So lets get back to progress. We have a problem. I want to be home for Passover. What are our solutions?

1) Fly home. Nope can't do that, unless I want to pay $400 at least roundtrip.

2) Suck it up and go to my uncles house in Brooklyn. Nope can't do that because my cousin got sick

3) Just let it go, chances are you'll be there next year. I can do this, i'm not a baby.

4) Progress.

This is me sitting at the kids table where I usually sit. Thats a very blurry picture of David holding Oreo across the table. Sitting next to me are Michael & Kara my cousins. And we are doing the sedar, which is the reading of Passover. And like we do every year, we rush through it, read the good parts, sing our dayanu's and eat Matzo Ball soup.

And while I couldn't actually taste the homeade egg noodles that David had prepared like he does every year, I got to be with my family on Passover for the 21st year in a row.

Thanks Walt. You da man.

Awesome use of technology, Nicole! Fantastic! I wouldn't be able to miss a family gathering like that. However, I am the only computer geek in my family, so I would have to miss it, as there would be no way for me to, ahem, telecommute!

 

[KatGarcia]

I think thats so awesome that you still got to "spend" time with your family!!!!

So as far as the meet goes a Thursday or a Friday is better for me personally but I am flexible. I kinda figured a Thursday would be quieter in general, in WoD & The Met (if thats what we do). So the only day I can't is Friday (this week the 25th because we are going to see Wicked). So let's stamp down a day!!!!
