family reunion
i went to a family reunion on saturday. (just got back) it was a place i hadn't been since i was about three and a half feet high. (as confirmed by the photo) i met lots of people i didn't know but am apparently related to, distantly, and socialized minimally with them. mostly i just stood near them and said ridiculous things until i got a reaction out of them. (i love gatherings) we slow roasted a ham. it was fabulous. i did manage to rouse a game of ultimate frisbee which went well minus the severe crack to the jaw i got from my cousin jeff's elbow as we both dived for a catch. the highlight, however, was all the little kids wanted to play. i'd guess their ages to be in the 7-10 range. i don't know what happened but kids just kill me these days. i love it. and as i was (or at least looked like i was) the oldest; apparently that made me in charge. it was very cool to be looked up to like that. not a parental figure but somebody they wanted to hang out with and be like.
something i did right, lately.
remember that phrase "things are on the up and up"? i've never used it. not that i think my life is crap or anything, but. if you know me well you might know what i mean... and if you get the reference in the first place than you might know me well.
the bad part is the trip up and back were made in the back of my mom's van. the horrible seating that i don't fit in was my home for three hours each way. and while i was there i slept on the worst pull out sofa that has ever existed. my back is killing me so i took a hand full i ibuprofen and a valium. they're starting to kick in so i'm gonna to watch TV 'till i pass out.
be well
