A Scattering of Amicos

Posted Thursday, August 17, 2006 at 6:43 a.m. by Chris Amico in Roadside Blogging and Self-Indulgence

For much of the past two years, all six members of my immediate family—Mom, Dad, Katie, Nick, Mike and myself—have lived under one roof. We've coexisted in cramped but usually calm quarters.

That all ended today, though, and in a few days the house population will be reduced to half.

Mike and my parents hit the road early this morning, bound for Phoenix where my youngest brother is moving into a dorm at Arizona State University.

Nick took off a few hours later (after breakfast) on a three-day road trip through Las Vegas; Grand Junction, Colo.; and coming to a screeching halt in Bloomington, Indiana, home of the Hoosiers.

I fly one-way to China on Saturday.

Katie hasn't locked in any escape plan, yet, but she's been talking about Australia lately, so it's likely her time at home is short. Within a few months, I suspect my parents will have a genuine empty nest.

Chris, it was a pleasure meeting with you today. I look forward to your updated blogs of your journey in China. It sounds like a professional adventure of a lifetime. Take care, maybe I can send you some Simpson videos.[HTML_REMOVED]br[HTML_REMOVED][HTML_REMOVED]/br[HTML_REMOVED][HTML_REMOVED]br[HTML_REMOVED]Dave Reyna[HTML_REMOVED]/br[HTML_REMOVED][HTML_REMOVED]br[HTML_REMOVED]661-263-3944[HTML_REMOVED]/br[HTML_REMOVED]
