12. do you know so-and-so

sounds like my neighbors in our apartment complex talking about other neighbors.

I never did FB or Twitter myself, but I can imagine what it's like,

e.g., my wife's 1/2 sister Ms. Promiscuous's other (not real husband) has a FB page, showing her with him, and the "love child" just like a family photo, and as if that wasn't enough to turn my gut inside out, her real husband believes the "love child" is his, even after 20+ years, and her husband doesn't know about her secondary relationship at all. Nobody has the intestinal fortitude to tell "him" (poor sucker) that his "fortunate son" isn't really his.

Why Brigid, I can't even attend family functions anymore, one because I'm afraid I might have a slip of the tongue, and two, I might need to bring my own barf bucket, and three, I don't know Judy Collins well enough to invite her too so she could sing "Send In The Clowns" because at every "family" gathering, there's a piece missing, and it's almost laughable, if it weren't so sad.

Stay warm Cub fan, stay warm.
