Family Update

Things are good, we are all very excited about our upcoming trip to Poland, even me which is surprising even to myself! We have quite a few trips planned while there, in addition to spending time in my wife's hometown of tarnow, we are going to visit Krakow with the twins, we will go without the twins to the Nazi concentration camp Auschwitz, and also to the town where the past Pope is from Zakopane, which has mountains and lots of hiking. Our hotel there looks amazing so am very excited.

In other news, the girls had their last dress rehearsal for their upcoming ballet recital, it is this Saturday morning. Charging the camcorder now....

I am reading some books about the Holocaust and just basically trying to get as much knowledge in my brain so that I will not be completely overwhelmed when in Poland. It is an odd thing but I am well aware of the evil in the world and cruelty and yet the more I learn about the Nazis the more sad I get. It is fairly incomprehensible to me that human beings can be so barbaric towards one another. Even more shocking is the inability for many of the perpetrators to show any remorse. The Germans really hated the Jews.

More pleasant news is that I got the new Cheap Trick album and it is amazing, much much better than their last few albums. I am going to see them in September outdoors with both N&J (who yes do love Cheap Trick) and my friends B&R.
