A couple of weeks ago, I had the opportunity to go out to Orange County, California, where I grew up as a teenager. I stayed with my youngest sister, Heather, who lives in the city of Orange. My sister Kimberley, who lives with her husband just outside of Boston, was there for a conference. I had a wonderful visiting with them. I also got to see my uncle and some old family friends. We don't get together very often, living in different parts of the country, so this was a real treat. You can tell that Kimberley and I both favor my mom's side of the family - you can definitely tell we are brother and sister.
