and I have 10 more papers to read. home at 3am after a long long day of sight-seeing boat ride in Chicago, and ed debevich's and later a birthday meal in some far northern suburb. could relax after 11pm when I got word that ben t. made it to his grandfather's in Israel. first time he flew alone and British Air would not take him as an unaccompanied minor since he had a 10 hour layover in London. which was actually reduced to 7 as they didn't take off from O'Hare on time anyway.
much work here. a taping today for a documentary. also almond joy had to be back for work this morning.
the wedding was wonderful. a chuppa in frothy white and ribbons, a beautiful ceremony, lots of people who do not usually see each other (family tensions abound) nonetheless made efforts at getting along or avoiding. we did the 1-2 nights at each of my siblings - the timna family road show - and I suppose I should have been saying good-bye since we're leaving for Bangladesh in less than a month. I wasn't ready to acknowledge that I might not see everyone one more time later in the month when I go down to pick ben t. up on his return.
