I'm still at my mom's in Chicago. I've been doing laundry at her place. Having a washer and dryer in the house is a luxury beyond my wildest dreams. But having done laundry for so many years at an NYC laundry mat, I have grown accustomed to using dryer sheets, and not adding fabric softener to the wash. My mother plays a different laundry game and uses the liquid goods...and for the love of God I can't remember to add it here. So when all is said and done after a load, I'm left with a bit of static cling.

Today my brother, sister and brother-in-law were playing what we call Bags. Throwing mini bean bags into opposing goals from a distance. The tone was seemingly pleasant enough...there was laughter and jovial cat calling in the mid day summer sun...but you could feel the palpabale desire to decimate,crush and humiliate each other...in a loving brother/sister kind of way.
Even as children, we were all super competitive, and if someone was upset by the results of a game, it was not a happy day in the house. There were many a game of Monopoloy that I left unfinished slash destroyed because I would throw my remaining money and cards all over the table...A of all because it took like my entire childhood to get through one single game and B of all because my sister would end up somehow co-opting my Park Place and Railroads.

The wedding was today. My mom and Larry Weinstein officially tied the knot. My mother, nee Michele Hogan, became Michele Fletcher after marrying my father and is now on her 3rd name.... Michele Weinstein. This really ups my status in the Jewish Community. Growing up as a Catholic around a middle school full of people of color....Silvers, Golds and Greens, I longed to fit in and have Jewish roots. I got to know these people and felt a part of. They folded me in under their wings and lead me by the light of their Menorahs, bringing me in as one of their own. I was like a human child being raised by wolves...except these wolves were the parents of my friends of Stephen and Emily Wolf. The Christian raised by Wolves.
Jewish tradition states that one is only truly a Jew if their mother is Jewish.
Having Michele Weinstein as your mother sounds about as Jewish as being born by Linda Richman.
I'm kvelling thinking about it now. Happy Day!
As a thanks to Larry and my mom for this important life change, the contest that I'm entering today (the trip to Barbados) will go to them if I win....to celebrate the start of their life together.
Mazel Tov! And L'Chaim!
This is getting me all emotional.
Ok...now I'm getting verklempt. Talk amongst yourselves. Here's a topic...Grapenuts contain neither grapes, nor nuts. Discuss.

Day 159: Wedding con Queso
2011 Total Earnings: $12,297
Today's Contest: Eli's Cheeskcake Sweepstakes
Prize: A free cheesecake
How to enter: http://www.elicheesecake.com/contest.aspx
The wedding weekend marathon continues. I find that no matter what my family talks about, most of the time the conversation falls back onto a neutral topic. The topic of cheese. We are nothing if not polite Mid Western WASCs (White Anglo Saxon Catholics). Within minutes of my initial arrival I was discussing making dates stuffed with blue cheese and wrapping them in bacon (totes amazeballs if you've never tried). My grandma, older brother and I started riffing on what kind of other cheeses you could substitute. This thrilling conversation volleyed like a heated tennis match from blue cheese to cream cheese and finished with my grandma's grand slam trump of...look out..."Camembert". Grandma knows her fromage.
Continuing our fondue family reunion...tonight we went downtown to Gino's East...kind of a famous Chicago deep dish pizza place. If you've never had Chicago deep dish, it's totes beyahhhhnd. Each gladiator size slice is basically like a wedge of cheese with some pie crust on the bottom. It's a beast of a pizza. It's like the bully on the pizza block. It will kick your pizza's crust.
I, being the token gay manorexic on the Atkins diet, scooped out the cheesy chessiness and discarded the crust like a neglected carcass on my plate. I looked at it with simultaneous disdain and desire. The buttery flakiness tempted me like a mythical siren calling to me from the cliffs of the Greek Isles. Maaaaaaaaatthhhewwww....the crust is the best paaahahahahahahaart.
My pizza/siren daydream has me visualizing the likes of of Sarah Brightman holding crumbling pizza crust slipping through her fingers as she sings in uniteligable words to me standing on the cliffs...
But if I was to fit into my micro sized Levi Khakis tomorrow, I needed to ignore the melodious carbohydratic calls from the Siren Brightman. Seriously, my pants are like the sized of a Ken Doll's. With slacks (a word my mom uses) this tiny, the pictures of me at the wedding tomorrow are either going to be a amAHzing or a little scandal-disasterous. Say Cheeeeese!

2011 Total Earnings: $12,297
Today's Contest: Meals on Wheels Trip to Israel
Prize: A trip to the holiest of holy lands
How to Enter: http://mow.org.il/?e=1
Mom's weekend wedding procession continued this evening. We all went to Shabbat Services at the Temple tonight. I'd been to a bazillion Bar Mitzvahs back in 7th and 8th grade, so I say I'm a little
Jew-'ish'. For the rest of my Catholic Family, this was a first.
The Rabbi was a sorta Larry David 'Curb your Enthusiasm' type with a maaaaaaayyyjor spray tan.
He kinda looked like a mix between Willy Wonka and an orange.
He was a good guy with lots of energy. He got my very waspy family to sing, dance and clap along to the ancient Hebrew chants.
The highlight of the service was throwing candy at my mom and her fiance. It's a tradition done to bring in a sweet new life for the bride and groom. My mom laughed and smiled as the candy flew by her feet. Not the same reaction from the Jewish woman in the front row who was none too pleased as mini snicker bars pelted her in the back of her head.

I landed in Chicago today for my mom's wedding (she's getting married toLarry Weinstein.
Mazel Tov!). The cab that picked us up was a bit of a nightmaarrrrre. He didn't know how to get to my mom's place. His credit card machine didn't work. He didn't have air conditioning. When I asked him if he at least had a fan, he said Yes, and opened the windows all the way. I kept my cool (even with out AC). Then in a slow motion movie kind of moment, there was a screech of brakes and my body lurched forward as we were hit from behind. Ouch-skees. I still kind of feel the pain in my neck. Nothing too major happened, fortunately, but I am certainly going to milk this one as hard as I can from my siblings this wedding weekend....
"Can you pleeeeeeeze get me a sandwich...I was in an accident."
"Can you pleeeeeze hand me the remote...I was in an accident"

Nature. Natural. Au Naturelle.
For me it's the waterfalls of the Pacific Northwest surrounded by huge evergreens.
For some, it's the arid otherworldly landscape of the Sedona Deserts.
And Natural serenity comes to others in any place where they don't wear anything but really long hair.
