We've been invited by my father and brother to take a vacation with them this summer. It'll be two weeks on the west coast – the first time that Mari and The Boy have been there in five years, and the first time The Girl's been there period.

It's difficult in times like these: ideals, dreams and cherished hopes rise within us, only to be crushed by grim reality. It's a wonder I haven't abandoned all my ideals, they seem so absurd and impractical. Yet I cling to them because I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart.
