sorry I know I apologized before for this but I can't resist. When my
mind starts to work I can't seem to stop it. Something I have been
really confused about is: How does Clare and Brian handle holidays
with the families? I mean I am assuming that his parents and sister
and however many other siblings he has all still live in Dallas. And
we all know that her folks live here in Ohio. How do they juggle
that? I know Clare and Callie go back to Ohio two days before
Christmas to spend time with their parents, but how do they pull that
off?

Do they spend the holidays apart? Cuz that would be ok while they are
dating I guess, but once they are married that will get a little odd.
Or do they spend a little bit with one family and then catch the Red
Eye to the others? I really don't understand how they manage holidays
with family when their families live in, I am assuming, totally
different states.

Clare in Vegas - Clare's Bold Use of the Internet

FOOD

Clare brought it up as she was cutting up her steak.
That led to all the other stuff about food and her curious
former eating habits...etc.

Clare is a very open person.

She knows that we'll be putting up our version of what she said.
But that it'll never be negative, but either neutral, and often
funny, but positive.

We were talking about how IMDB.COM was updated with the engagement
info (we had a similar converstion later with Brian) and noted that
the info had to come from their inner circle of those in on the
secret.

Clare said she didn't mind that the net made her privacy more
difficult these days. She just wanted it to be true.

CLARE'S BOLD USE OF THE INTERNET

Like we told LJ earlier, Clare has been probably the most open of
any celebrity in letting a web site put up rather intimate details
of her childhood and adulthood, not just her professional activities.

Even to the point of personally setting up our Columbus interview
with her Dad, where his personal reminiscees and satisfaction with
both his daughters blossoming careeers was open to the world.

She said her Dad had pulled up the interview and was pleased.
We'd also sent Clare a copy of the DVD of the video to give to her
Dad before she went home for Christmas.

Because the interview included a lot about Clare's Dad's hospice
volunteering activities, we all had a discussion about Clare having
followed the hospice-situated recent Terri Schiavo story. Camden
noted that he also had (or had had) a relative in hospice care.

We have yet to see any other comparable situation regarding celebrity
information being published so openly as with Clare and our
site/groups.

And, like we said after Columbus - there's more to come long-term.
Just be patient.

CLARE & BRIAN HOLIDAYS

-We have no information on this currently.

Beyond the Clare & Callie Christmas back home that Clare said they
always had done. Obviously this would not preclude Brian being there.

Or Callie bringing someone along. The Delaware, OH., home is a quite
large footprint 2+ story home - seemingly like most of them in the
neighborhood, with a converted attic floor. That's the "+".

Though Clare did say they visited the Dallas area for his family's
events (weddings ?? - we don't remember). And stayed in their
Dallas area Cedar Creek Lake home.

We have a "chiggers & WalMart" Clare vignette related to this that
we'll put in the full vignettes on the site this weekend.

Hey, the informnation flow is progressing quite well - we thought.

Clare's happy.
We're happy.
