Return of the native
I'm back. From stepping out of my sister's back door until stepping back into mine was 8 hours almost to the minute--and that's with near-perfect connexions. (Amtrak only 10 minutes late, catching a 151 with two minutes to spare.) So, yes, doable but not exactly superconvenient. Better start checking Southwest for Christmas specials now!
It was a good visit, although not without its frustrations. Chief among them was finding out yesterday that my dad got his dates messed up and is coming up this weekend, not next. That is to say, he's coming up both weekends, since I'm not switching around our Door County plans at the last minute simply because he doesn't grok calendar technology.
Also, it's official: My brother is Just Another Relative to me now. Probably the less said about that the better. On the other hand--in a heartwarming and unexpected development--my uncle is now my pal. He's hoping I can lure him up to Chicago sometime for fun and nightlife!
