yesterday, angela said, 'one week until my due date!', and i was struck by just how fast these past 9 months have flown. she is VERY pregnant. the thought that my brothers and i will soon be uncles is rather strange. course, dancer will be an aunt, and mom and dad will be grandparents, so i'm sure its strange to everyone. i know this stuff happens all the time, but now that its happening for the first time to our immediate family it is predictably novel.

hope i'm a good uncle. non-immediate family relations can be weird sometimes....heh, as if immediate family relations are always completely normal. though most people talk of a close aunt/uncle/grand parent, so perhaps there is hope.

today is sunny and cold. just like a good fall day should be.
