Birthdays

Today, November 12, 2010, is my father-in-law's 87th birthday. Yesterday, November 11 and also Veteran's Day, was mother's 103rd birthday. I did not call my father-in-law today, because I was busy early, and later he was en route with my youngest son Nate to Okemos, Michigan (don't ask), and out of teleph0nic contact. I did not visit my mother's grave because I hate it; no matter the situation, no matter the time of year, no matter anything, I break down and bawl like a raw-souled animal when I see it. I often vomit, too. So I just don't go there much.

Word to the wise: Try to avoid having your mother die on you when you're 9.
