Thanksgiving 2019

Okay.

Judy and I had a GREAT day today - cooking this morning and celebrating Thanksgiving with neighbor friends who are the most charming people we know. They are such a fun-loving couple and we may not have the same political ideology, but they know how to make everyone feel special and loved. It was fabulous!

There's this nagging, gnawing feeling that keeps chewing away at our peace of mind and circumstance. There are 28 other family members who don't give a rats ass about us, and it totally pisses me off.

I messaged with our family from afar today ... random texts and a few pictures. So ... generic. They have chosen to disassociate themselves because their parents/grandparents are gone and ... from where I stand (as the administrator of the estates and Judy's guardian) what I see: they don't feel in any way responsible for their aunt who is the beneficiary keeping them from their inheritance. They are just biding their time.

In the meantime, people that I really would love to spend more time with - people who have been a part of my life for so long that I truly love and I know them and they know me ... we've been split down the middle by this person in the White House (who has NO BUSINESS being there) but that's the point.

Today, Jim engaged in a conversation with me via Greg's FB post over the SEAL dude who's been in the news lately - and DT has vindicated of wrongdoing... blah blah blah. It really makes me sad that people can't just agree to disagree.

So, the message of this blog is that I am a bad person because
1. I have control over the family estate.
2. I think we have a crappy president.
3. People don't like it that I have an opinion.
4. Judy's life is nobody's responsibility but mine.

I think that fucking sucks and if, God forbidding, I outlive her, they will be sorry.
