Heh, actually, with my family, the trick is getting everybody in the same city at one time. My mom might be off doing research in Croatia, my dad might be doing World Bank work in one of the "-ykistans", Jared's off talking to tribespeople in New Guinea, etc. We like seeing each other when it's possible, but the rest of the time it's more a case of walking into the house and asking, "So, who's actually here in the country right now?" ;)
