Back in Houston

So we're back in H-Town after a long week of tending to the family in B.R. To fill everyone in, my grandmother (titi - Arabic for grandmother) passed away on Monday. She was 82 and had been losing a fight with cancer for a while. Nothing brings a family back together like a funeral. I saw cousins I haven't seen in decades. I've always liked the way my family is so closely bonded.

On to the good news:

My brother has FINALLY been accepted to medical school. He starts this fall at Texas Tech in Lubbock. For those of you who don't know, Lubbock is west of Abilene, south of Amarillo, and north of nowhere. Not much to do there, so he won't be too distracted. It's about a 10 hour drive from Houston, so I probably won't be seeing Dan and Becky much anymore. I'll need to locate new movie watching buddies.
