Two of my cousins originally from The Planet Ann Arbor and their husbands were in town to do an early Thanksgiving with their dad, My Dear Uncle Harry (MDUH). He’s 98. We were not invited to this event and that is fine fine fine. Small celebrations are usually better for the elderly although I have pics of Radical Betty’s last birthday and she was rabble-rousing even then. But not everybody is Radical Betty and Radical was a bit younger then than MDUH is now.

Anyway, we met at Casey’s Tavern for lunch today, minus MDUH, who is probably still recovering from the hilarious salad faux pas from yesterday’s dinner, and plus Little Cat Z (who lives and works close by). I am an extreme introvert but I am also a friendly one. Talking with all of them about my recent employment status change (and general life stuff), I am sure I talked their ears off. Sorry you guys!

Several people were experiencing or recovering from cold symptoms after visiting grandchildren, although nobody was coughing. One person had actually taken a covid test, which was negative, thank you god or whoever although covid doesn’t freak me out since the one time I had it, I was not terribly sick.

Still. I took a risk and hugged every single blasted one of my visiting cousins today. Pooh and Mark and Jay and Carl. Love you all.
