Keeping Secrets; Ruminations on Family

It’s funny having the karlhub.com site be a secret until Christmas. I keep checking my blog to see if anyone, like my lovely auntie Rita, has made any comments, and only then do I remember that she doesn’t know about it yet! I think the karlhub.com site was a wonderful inspiration by my cousin Meredith, and I hope very much that we are able to keep it interesting and active for more than a couple of weeks.

Meredith: btw, Joy (Dale’s mum) loved the song you wrote for Jennifer & Stepan’s wedding.

This is probably a good place to say to the rest of my family (those who don’t yet know about karlhub.com) that I am very glad and thankful that I have such a nice family that we’d even want to do something like this. We are so lucky to have a family that’s nice to each other, likes to do things together, and talks more than once or twice a year; the older I get (and yes I know my bones are creaking now at my ripe old age of 32), the more I become aware that not all families have so much laughter when they get together, nor do all families call each other first—instead of friends—to share something, whether it’s a triathlon or a ski trip or what. So—I’m glad you’re all my family!
