11 43 pm pst   [ in threes ]

I hope these things don't come in threes. Today I found out that my cousin Madeline (sister of the cousin I met on 9 September 2000) died. Her funeral is being held in New York, and I made a concerted effort to secure plane tickets to attend. I couldn't find any that I could afford on such short notice. I spoke with my grandfather (my dad's dad) and my father extensively but it just didn't work out.

My brother found out he was accepted to his major at Yale today: Ethics, Politics and Economics [program information & an article about]. That was great news to counterbalance the bad. He is also applying to spend a semester abroad at Oxford.

Matthew and I will be attending MacWorld on Wednesday and I am hoping to spend some time with Charles and Jeff this week.

I hope these things don't come in threes. I miss you Grampa P.
