He Came, He Saw, He Never Called Again...

Friday night was one of the single most bizarre nights in recent history. We arrived at Marion's Pizza and there stood Jamie's father and his step-mother (who was crocked out of her mind on wine - by the way) waiting for us like Jamie was excited to see him or something... Jamie walked over and shook his hand. I think his dad was thinking that Jamie was going to hug him... but no such luck. Then Jamie's aunt, uncle and cousins walked over and greeted us like we had seen each other a million times over the years... (first time meeting everyone there except Jamie's dad who I met 4 years ago for 2 hours). It was all just SO bizarre.

To make a really long and convoluted story as short as possible - I'll cut right to the point. Jamie hardly spoke to his father, his father expected the kids to be excited that he drove "all the way here to see them", and the whole situation was awkward. Well, here comes the kicker: Jamie's dad says "we will get together for dinner before we leave on Tuesday morning." HE NEVER CALLED JAMIE OR JULIE SINCE FRIDAY! Now, if you say you drove here to see your kids; how come you didn't spend any time with them?

Everyone started taking pictures so I busted out my camera for this shot...




Time will tell if his dad bothers to call him again!

G-d damn son of a ....well you know the rest.
How Jamie became such an incredible man with having those genes, I will never know. Just shores that nurture can trump nature.
How is Jamie doing with all this?

Ha! That family sounds just about as disfunctional as mine (my side of the family anyway)! The one's who become incredible out of situations like that do exactly that "come out" of situations like that not stay in them. Found your site from the Weinrub's we are also here in Japan. -Nicki
