My Brother is Moving to California...

...so the four Kogan kids (Michael, Francesca, Niki, and myself) had dinner at The Round Grill in New Brunswick. It was a rather interesting dining experience to say the least since the four of us rarely eat out together. We feasted on Mongolian barbeque style meat, noodles, and vegetables.

I used to hang with my sisters a lot, but moved out and Niki and Francesca became best friends. Mike didn't hang with any of us much...until now. It's sad that it takes a move to California for us to realize how important we are to each other.

Well, as much as we didn't hang out with each other, we did stand up for our family in the most severe cases. We would defend each other among the worst neighborhood bullies. We would never tell our parents which Kogan child was to blame for swiping the missing alcohol in the house even if it got all of us in trouble. We would equally be bothered by our father's boring lectures. When it came down to the nitty gritty, we were there for each other.

And I hope even a move to California won't tear us apart.

Michael takes off for California on Friday, August 5th...
