On Vacation.

I am currently on vacation. Every year I get away with my family and we play in the surf and fridge, mix and mingle and dress up the average Pringle. We measure the merits of one's success, the growth of our children (mine's still inner) and the time that goes by. The house has ahistorical aspect where my aunts and uncles did the same things with my mom. Gathering, playing cards eating, drinking, and lots of laughing. It's been in the family forever and holds a soothing springs/spa position in our relations.

It's about the deprogramming and reminding one another that we are a funny pack of mongrels, forced to run together as we were raised and still running with each other after all this time. We compete and complete. We are determined to have a great time and a great body. We work well as a unit and NO ONE can clean like these people. We were brought up right and are right repectful. We know that dishes are never returned empty, phone calls are returned promptly and the power of the Thank You Note is immense. We look forward to seeing each other, mostly, every summer.

My showing off on the sailboat is just gravy. Thirty something and still wearing speedos. Take that sib's. The tan came in the early california preparation for the trip. David Beckham has similar photos of himself on the net. They're a little different than my series here.
