The Chicago-based nephew is now officially a teenager! Actually, I hope he’s old enough to be put on a plane by himself to visit his Austin-based relatives!
Seeing him and his sister Anna are on my short list of things to achieve when I go to Chicago at the end of December.
Meanwhile, putting together a humongous package for him (and sister) are an immediate goal. We tend to lump their Christmas and birthday stuff into a “pile.” Knowing how adults try to skimp for efficiency, Somara and I always try to make sure the fiscal, mental and sincerity values are commensurate to what we ship.
