ok, I took that last post down cause it was dull even by my standards

so...my parents are coming back from Istanbul sometime in the next couple of days...

they went there for the Bar Mitzvah of the son of the daughter of one of my dad's frat brothers. (who I should mention was a writer for some early Twilight Zone episodes... that one with the dolls in the trash bin? yeah, it's his grandkid up on the Turkish Bima.)
