I remember when our family was planning
our first trip to Europe, and I was so excited about all the planning involved. I was trying to work out a trip covering about 30 countries in the two weeks available, which is not as easy as it sounds. But I remember that all the trip variations had to include Innsbruck; for some reason I had become obsessed with the place. Then one day, my intense trip planning was interrupted by a family announcement: my mother was pregnant and the trip would have to be cancelled. I was crushed, no Innsbruck! Well, for many years now I've had to view my little sister Aimee as if perpetually on a scale, her "charms" always being weighed against the loss of my Innsbruck fantasy. So it was with great relief that I finally made it to Innsbruck, and could judge for myself that, on balance, it was better to have had Aimee than the family trip.

I'm glad to see you finally forgave me for being born...even though you're never shy to remind me of the inconvenience I caused you with my birth!!
I think you should actually thank me...had i not be born you would have had to see Innsbruck with the fam--not quite as grand or fun as the trip you finally took!!
Hi Pomme de terre tete! I put that comment in specifically to flush you out, see if you were lurking in the background. Cute name, but a bit hard on the typing fingers!
someone in the family had to forgive you Pomme. Don't worry, I don't blame you nearly as much as I blame mom and dad.
