diary : february 2003

My folks think he's a youngster, but Arn, Howard's dad, turned 70.  To celebrate, the whole family went on a cruise in the Caribbean.  Just a weekend, but what a hoot.  Our old Vassar pal Barb played chaperone to the kids, but I think they had a hard time keeping up with her: last I knew we were doing Britney Spears karaoke in one of the theaters and sounding damn good.

We also waited in line for hours to see the documentary, American Mullet, which examines the propagation and acceptance of the mullet hairstyle in our culture.  Not that it deserves a place; it was fine in the 70's with my Canadian cousins, but now?
