Big rehearsal dinner with the Boston cousins and the 2d-cousin-in-laws-to-be. Big family is fun and being the immigrants' kid you do not get it too often. My namesake uncle hosted my namesake cousin's do at the Rustic Kitchen and it was great. A big room with almost 50 family and family to be including Auntie Mary from Long Island (I think). Best thing for something like this is great waiting staff especially when you have two little kids. Treating them like the stars makes everything work well for everyone else. I late-delivered last year's cousin bride an inukstuk so I imagine there will be questions tonight about what the heck it means. I wanted something Canadian and a canoe was just too much.

Today, the fishies in the beeeg tanks.
