Hey, folks. Nothing particularly funny, witty, interesting or insightful to say here today. Last night, I received a call from my 12 year-old nephew because he wanted to let me know that he’d just made his junior high basketball team. Honestly? That call made my day. He’s got the sweetest voice ever and I could tell that he was soooo excited. God, I miss my family. I haven’t been home in a long time. Thanksgiving is right around the corner, but it can’t get here soon enough. But, whatever. So, um, that’s it for now. Happy Friday. If you want to read more sappiness about my nephew, check me out over at Nerve magazine today. Be forewarned, it probably won’t be as exciting for you as it was for me. But, trust me, if you knew this kid, you’d be totally fucking excited, too.

***Envy*** I got cut from the B-ball team at that age.
:-(
How old are you? Maybe they cut you from the team to make room for my nephew? ;) Nah. I know you’re older than that cuz I read your blog.
Yay for your nephew. Good deal.
Your nephew needs a webcam… (being that your new thingamajigbillyboblenny has one too) If it works with family 3000 miles apart, it can handle the NYC-Chitown commute as well.

@ Nessa: Yeah, he’s really excited about it.
@ ErrorBoy: Oooh! Thanks for the idea. :)
Awww .. well done lil guy!
My lil guy plays his first game with a proper club tomorrow .. I don’t know who’s more nervous ;o)
As a fellow LOUD AND PROUD aunt, I completely understand how it must have felt to not only hear that voice (melts your heart, right?), but to learn of his good news. Congrats, auntie!!
@ Bexxie: That’s too cute!
@ AmyD: It sounds gushy and cheesy to say it, but I really do love being my nephews’ aunt.
