Wow! How many families are there like this in the whole world? No, really! These ideas that ordinary human beings should be able to give this much are coming from where? It’s hard-to-impossible to find even one person in a lifetime who has the capacity to give this much, and you’ve got several people who can accept into their midst an intellectual, liberal, gay, radical, outspoken, single, cat-loving medical editor? What IS the PROBLEM?! Then on top of that you want to add “understood.” Then on top of that you want that they should be eager to know what you’re thinking, what you’re doing and why, etc., and ask you “regularly”—this from a “club” you would never want to join if they weren’t family! You were born the mutant in this bunch, not they. They are people you wouldn’t spent time with every week unless they were family. Good people, but not computer matches in the compatibility department. Maybe this MORE you’d like to get from them is highly UNREALISTIC? Greedy needy, if you will. But if it drives such interesting, well written, and entertaining prose, DON’T STOP with your eccentric hopes for appreciation. Dream on and write on for all those humans who have given up on family and rich, deeply satisfying involvements with said gene pool.

Love the captions by ever-droll Mary ("unhappy unless in car on way out of town" "fake dog [presumably]"). Mary in rust dress (to match the autumn leaves?), Mary with nose in book, portent of things to come. Pixie-like K; where is close-up of Barb? Love the pink winter wonderland!

That person fully knew what she was doing. She wanted to take advantage of the situation and her usual response would be sorry as if it justifies her ignorance.

We saw that bumper sticker today, too! Some old Nissan or something clunking around in the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle, WA. We were similarly nonplussed. Oh, they had a Denver Broncos bumper sticker too. Hmm. This is currently the only page on the internet with the phrase “Everybody Loses From Potato Bruises,” according to Google.
