I should not be up writing this,
as only a few hours ago I was emptying
the entire contents of my stomach into a trash can.

But as they say, the show must go on.

So, bear with me and be gentle :)
(drumroll please)

" A family reunion in the coming months
will be a tremendous success! "

Before I get started, have you ever noticed that
any statement with an exclamation mark at the end
just seems way more exciting than without ?

For example, if I told you
" We're having egg rolls with dinner. "
It's more like a matter-of-fact detail
BUT if I told you
" We're having egg rolls with dinner ! "
You would flat out know there must at least
be something extra special about eggrolls -
even if you didn't like egg rolls.

This has nothing to do with the family reunion.:p)


I got to thinking about it,
and this fortune did not specifically say
that it would be MY family reunion -
or even that I would be present.

So... apparently someone in the great somewhere
is going to have a tremendously successful family reunion.

And I am very happy for them :)


It's so easy to assume that everything has to be about us.


With that in mind, here's what you must know about me.

I am dehydrated, and I haven't eaten solid food since this morning.
Not only do I have a headache whenever I move,
but I am very lightheaded and feel like I was run over
by a Marathon Prevost motorhome that was towing
a Jeep Grand Cherokee - with a pair of canoes on top.

I know, I know - what's this have to do with you, right ?

Well, I'm giving you a break, and an assignment.

I'd like you to disgree with me.

Ready?
READY!?!

Because so much of your life is all about you,
I'm going to tell you that I think you're selfish.


And I'd like you to tell me why you disagree, if you do.


You do that while I get some well needed rest, OK?
OK !!!
