Gabe and Ruth have broad palates.\u00a0 Tonight Ruth ate sushi, tempura shrimp and a whole dish full of tempura vegetables as did Gabe.\u00a0 They also wolfed down tempura ice-cream.\u00a0 Afterward, Ruth wanted to put on a play in an ampitheatre located behind the Osaka Restaurant.\u00a0 We waited awhile for her to decide on a performance, but the show, in this case, did not go on.\u00a0 Maybe tomorrow in her playhouse.<\/p>\n
Families are magical and mysterious, the vessels proven to travel through time intact.\u00a0 We create them often with little realization of the long tail such action has, but consider the genetic chain linking you to the generation before you and the one before that and the one that crossed the ocean and the one that came out of Africa and the one that links you to mitochondrial Eve.<\/p>\n
They find us at our most intimate, most troublesome, most winsome, most ugly.\u00a0 The family collects bad acts and good, favors and betrayals, puts them in the alembic of an extended web of relationships and distills out the future.\u00a0 Miracles are never more than this.<\/p>\n
