Night with Dave

I don’t know why I’m tired, but by all means I shouldn’t be. I slept 9 hours last night... I’m getting ready to head over to my cousins mom’s house for a BBQ, then on to dinner with my uncle Dan and his wife Danielle. At this point I figure a little weight gain is inevitable... oh well, one thing this side of the family does very well is food and drink :)
Last night was spent with my uncle Dave, and was loaded with tidbits and backstory on my grandparents and my dad and his brothers growing up. I’ve spent enough time in my life getting in tune with all the blessings and curses from my mom’s side of the family, and now I get to tune into dad’s side. Dave wrote a story about a typical morning in their house growing up, and it was very powerful to read a painted picture of the hidden dysfunction within their 1960’s suburban family. I could rabbit trail for hours on this subject, but I need to get going, so at least it’s all in my head for now.
