Holy cow.

My kid sister Amy is engaged.

She just called me from Israel to tell me the news. I approve--Chris is a good guy. I wish I knew him better but there's plenty of time for that.

I'm in shock; this is my kid sister. I remember when she learned to walk. And now she's engaged. Yelena points out that Amy is older than I was when I got engaged and I should get over it. I can no longer deny the fact that my little sister really is growing up.

Mazel tov, Amy & Chris.
