My Family - The Anchels

My entire family is crazy.  Except me - I am perfectly sane.  And I know that each one of them thinks that they are the sane ones, but they aren't.  Only I am.  That said, I think that introductions are in order.

This is my father Stanley Anchel

Then:

True story - For his bar mitzvah, my father was given a jewellery set that included a ring, a tie clip, cuff links and a belt buckle.  As was the fashion, his mother wanted to have the set engraved with his initials.  Though my father has no middle name my grandmother wanted three letters used.  So she added an extra 's'.  SSA.  Backwards - ASS.  She told everyone that the second 's' stood for Steamboat.

This is my mother Sarah Anchel

Then:

Look at how sexy my mom was.  This picture was taken on my parents' honeymoon in Spain.
One year my mom got my sister and I Mother's Day presents from all of our stuffed animals.  How's that for the best mom ever?
My mom moved to Vancouver to sell sex to the masses - she makes me proud.

This is my sister Dayna Anchel

Then:

The Pain.  There's a piece in the childrens' book Free to Be You and Me called
The Pain and The Great One.  When we were kids we took to calling each other by those names and it just kind of stuck.
My sister is now a hiking, canoeing, portaging, repelling through waterfalls massage therapist..

This is my family now
