in case you missed said best online conversation with my cousin M (who is also a new yorker via texas), read it here. then see the response my awesome cousin A who lives in austin wrote to me after he read it (i sent it to him, of course).

"Man... I can't believe M___ talks like that... I always imagined M____ talking like this super-intellectual on the internet; perfect grammar, typing away with a cardigan sweater and a trim white oxford with cuff links, using adjectives like "superfluously" and nous like "integration" - well maybe I'm going too far but you get my point. Seeing a new side of your cousins is strange. I guess we all ought to know each other but we don't. Maybe... that's a good think lol. I'm not sure."

i love my family.
