Were you being sarcastic with the title?! That sounds like a lot to me.

You're a trip. You three sisters are lucky to have each other. Built in best friends.
My two sisters and I have less than 4 years between the oldest and the youngest. We're now 60,59,and almost 57. We're still best friends. I don't know how I would have made it without them, and I didn't have HALF the life-challenges the three of you have had.

I wasn't being sarcastic at all - it felt like a calm day because I didn't have to add school to that mix, and there was time to chill out at the end of the day.

How you know you're in New York?
8:40: get on line at Starbucks

Only in NYC (and in its suburbs, where I grew up) does one say, "on line." Everywhere else, it's "in line."
