Yesterday was the family's game dinner at my parents' house. This is where we basically clean out the freezers in preparation for what the new hunting season will bring, and catch up on the news. Some topics: old graveyards, my nephew's new cat Princess Arianna, local real estate, the wackjob down the road who died and rotted in her house, which then had to be torn down. We totally avoided politics, as none of us were really drunk enough.
