Family

I sometimes wonder how many of my family members all across the world have taken a moment to check out this blog.

Now mind you, I really do have family spread out all over the world.  And not to spill too many secrets, but not all of them traditionally were altogether there mentally.  I do not mean to talk a lot about it here in this forum.  But at the same time, I would love the opportunity to discuss this with more than a few family members.

On the other hand, they are partly what has made me who and what I am today.  I didn't grow up really knowing a lot of them.  And frankly, I think more than a few of them were (and maybe still are) in some ways, afraid of me.

If one of you is reading this, do know that I'm not out to hurt you.  I may be out looking for answers, but I'm definitely not out to hurt you.  If you in any way try to provoke me though, that's an entirely different story.

Today for lunch, I had half a tongue sandwich, a cup of sweet and sour cabbage soup, and a cream soda.  The sandwich came with potato salad and pickles.  For dinner, I had the other half of the sandwich along with a couple of fruits.  Sorry to say -- the sandwich was not up to par at all with what I remember growing up on the East coast.
