Return to the Burgburb

Went back for family reunion after an unusually long stay at home. It was a little odd without mom, the warm fuzzy feeling of seeing all the cousins has become a cold clammy duty dance. I think it's time to hang up the dancing shoes and admit that these folks are not my tribe at all.

It's Living Geneology. Every year we have to be reminded, by the keeper of the family tree, of how we are connected. For the most part, it's only from the prolific childbearing of generations long passed. The pre-meal presentation was replaced by a post meal recitation of who died in the last year. I'm done.

Returned home for 4 days, only to return again so that Youngblood could collect the car promised to him by my mom. He's on cloud 9 and fully mobile.

A new era has begun. Yeaaaaa.
