by "holidays" do you mean christmas/new year's? i'm probably not going to be there then, alas; if that plan changes, i'll let you know. right now it looks like i'll be going for a visit in late august.

where does your family live, btw? my parents are in wyoming, near 44th and clyde park; one sister lives in hudsonville; my other sister lives in the vicinity of alger/madison (just north of 28th st); and my brother lives in dearborn.
