Is that the same sister that died in the WTC? She sure doesn't have much luck. I see why you take separate vacations.

It was her twin. Now you can see why it is such a sensitive subject for our family. thanks for rubbing salt in that wound.

actually my sister literally was in Phuket in a beachfront hotel when the tsunami hit. well her stuff was. She was on an elephant excursion on the mountain looking at the waves come in. yes, seriously.

Freshman year, instead of going to north thailand or other places in asia, i went on a school trip to bang sak, just north of Phuket, to help build the "Raj Pratchanuklok 35" school and generally assist with the even-still-ongoing reconstruction and aid efforts.

when she came home to visit a few months later she showed us a few after pics. no during pics. not too much though, sad isn't really her thing. she had a bazillion pics from her jaunt to madagascar though. that happy fun thing is more her area of expertise.

Bad Names

At lunch today we were talking about the strange names the kids have in the black community we are in. The kids can't even pronounce each others names with ease. Twins are given names that match like Zavier and Zaviea, Ranesiaha and Rakesaha,.,,not spelled right i am sure.

The worse one that came up is a three year old with the name Eurea. Do the parents not look up what a name means? The seem to think they can add a letter to it and change it. I feel sorry for these kids when they get older.
