NYC and The Family
   
 
The Metropolitan Museum of Art--Outside.

Alternate Annoyance Method:
When shown a landmark noted for its age, say, "200 years?  Is that all?  I've got houses on my block older than that!"

 

 

 How to annoy the Americans:
When shown a landmark noted for its size, such as the Empire State Building, eye it up and down and say, "Is that it?  I thought it would be bigger."

 



The Metropolitan Museum of Art--Inside.
    

We happened to be in the City on the 23rd of April, which, in addition to being St. George's Day, is Shakespeare's Birthday.  Someone even brought him a dozen roses to celebrate the occasion.
 *Originally, I had this up as St. Andrew's Day, because I'm an American and I don't know any better.

 

 

   

  

How to annoy the Irish Americans:
On the 23rd of April., go into any Irish Pub and loudly proclaim, "Happy St. George's Day!"

 

 



Meeting The Family:
My Step-mom, Helen (or Tootie), my dad, Melvin (or Bud), my sister, Melinda (or Tilly), my brother, Matthew (or Muscles), Shonagh, me, Becky, Matt's Wife (all bereft of nicknames).
    

Late Arrivals:
My other brother, Marc, his wife Wendy and daughter Moriah.

 

 

 
All of us together.  There is just one missing, our little sister Michele who lives in Plattsburg, NY.
