our family flies to michigan this morning. we’ll be with jeannie’s parents for a couple days, then down to southwest michigan for the wedding of my niece (which i’m officiating), then to chicago for a couple days just for our family (museums and such). from chicago, jeannie and the kids will go back to southwest michigan to join my parents at a cabin for a couple days, before going back to detroit to fly home. but i’m flying from chicago, through aukland, new zealand, to sydney, australia, for catholic world youth day (which is really more than a day!). i’ll post more on that, i’m sure.

blogging might be a bit light for the next two weeks — i’m not back in san diego until the evening of the 22nd.
