On being “related”

It’s kind of weird because 9 months ago, I had no neice, nephews, or in-laws. Wait…I still don’t have a neice. Anyway, the whole connection through connection through law thing is kind of weird to me. It’s like playing six degrees of separation by marriage. For example, I married Rachel Eyre, who is sister to Rebekah Tucker (was Eyre), who married Forrest Tucker, who is brother to Heidi Tucker, who is engaged to and plans on marrying Tim Enloe this summer. So, I’d be like 5 degrees of marriage separation from Tim Enloe. I guess this doesn’t disturb anyone else (Tim, don’t take offense; that’s not how I meant it!). It becomes even more disturbing when you realize they all have blogs.

Add to that the fact that when people meet me, I am no longer Rick Capezza. I am “Isaiah’s brother-in-law.” And Rachel is just “Isaiah’s brother.”

Speaking of those “relatives” (I put it in quotes because I’m not exactly sure what the guidelines for relatives are), when we heard Heidi and Tim are going up to Spokane the same day we’re going up, Rachel said, “I wish Holly was coming up too.”

I, of course, said, “Well, maybe we could convince Holly to come up.” Rachel laughed and said, “But Heidi’s already bought her tickets.” WHAT does that MEAN? Can they not BOTH buy tickets?
