Ah, Jersey, how do I miss you?
So, we're heading to Jersey for my uncle's wedding. THe last time we saw my extended family, it was for my cousin's wedding. Unfortunately, we weren't able to stay for a mini-family reunion at my other uncle's house.
This time though, it looks like we're going to be able to do it. So, after a little stop in DC, we'll head up to Jersey and see the family. Many of them are aware of our plans to adopt, so I'm sure that will be a major point of conversation. I'm sure we'll have lots of "stupid" questions. These are the questions that people want to ask, but they don't know how to ask them. Like, "How much will your baby cost?" Well, the baby doesn't cost anything (okay, diapers, formula, clothes, etc... they cost a lot), but the lawyers, paperwork, and governments require much money to help you legally adopt a child from a foreign country.
Meanwhile, I've been playing Pokémon XD for the GameCube. I know, I know... but it's actually fun on a TV with an ATI graphics card and surround sound. Unfortunately, the game is kind of hard if you start from scratch. So, I may purchase a Pokémon game for the SP. My friend Mike is the one to whom I owe this detrimental curse. However, he is in it with me, so until we "catch 'em all" I probably not be playing very many other video games.
One exception might be TOCA Racing. This incredibly realistic racer is probably as close as I'll ever get to getting on a race track.
