My Weekend and The Alibi

My weekend was lovely. I stayed at the Palms motel, and during the day, I hung out with my family. At night because there was nothing to do, I hung out at a bar called The Alibi.

My relatives on my mom's  side are highly-educated, academic, wealthy and well-traveled.

I am the least educated, least well-traveled and probably the most impoverished on my mom's side of the family (this is all excluding my autistic twin).

My uncle, who normally lives in Australia, is seemingly the wildest of my relatives. He has been mugged in Armenia, Bulgaria (some other places) and has been arrested in China. He has current plans to bike the Artic circle, is a regular camper and drives a bus for a living. ...It's nice to know that not everybody in my family prefers to sit and read.

It's awkward hanging out with my family. They think I'm retarded.
It a bit of a story how this came about, but I'm not sure how to explain myself without ranting. Below is a picture of us all together.

Although I'm not fond of how I look in this photo, I'll cherish it. It's rare to find this side of my family all in one place.

This is my Palms Motel, which I was made fun of for staying at it, but it turned out to be quite a pleasant time. My bed was awesome, and everything about the motel, I liked. I especially liked the neon sign and the charming ambiance.

I give the motel 5 stars. It was a great experience of DirectTV and trying to convince the staff to leave me alone during the day.

I also learned a lot from my family. -a hospital after Katrina actively killed some of it's patients after the disaster

Amazon uses an algorithm derived from baseball to determine its hiring, firing and rate procedures....supposedly an article in the nytimes talks about it.

I'll write more later. I just don't have a good system that adequately uses my time for these blog posts. I need to solve this problem.
