The heat is off

This weekend both my sister Jan AND my brother Marty flew in to wish my Dad a happy Birthday/Fathersday. Jan isn't that unusual, as she comes up from California maybe 3 or 4 times a year. But Marty? Marty hasn't been back to "The Mainland" from Hawaii since he moved there 5 years ago! I think he's much happier now that the pressure is off.

I can remember many an akward Familly Git-Together that involved my Dad bringing the three of us to him and having "The Talk" with us. "The Talk" abou how he's not getign any younger, and some day he may e gone, and he just wants to know that the Pierce bloodline will go on, and -

"DIBS ON BARREN!" shouts Jan.

Marty jumps in with "I CALL FOOTBALL INJURY!"

How do they do it so fast?!?! So I'm always the one left holding the ball! And they could pull out a new excuse every time, so I'd neverknow where to go with it! Marty even pulled out the "Gay" card so often that I actually thought he was gay for a few years! Who knows... maybe he is. But the fact of the matter is that both of them were too cowardly to step up and face the challenge like I did.

I'm gonna get so much more cool stuff in the will than either one of them :)

I have learned that having 50% of the North Pacific Ocean is a great way to keep getting along with your family. 2000 miles can really relieve a lot of tension, y'know?

I wouldn't count your Will eggs just yet. I have my suspicions that I am no longer in the Will or listed as a beneficiary on anything. No, the Monkey is now the Heir to the Kingdom I'm sure.

Once you've spawned, you are no longer of any use. That is unless your going to do the Heir and a spare thing...

I'm going to have to beg my son for any token of my folk's.

I'm so thankful that my parents aren't like that, childhood illness on my part has left us with adoption as the only option, but I was a miracle child for my parents (both older siblings are adopted) so I'm the executor of their will, not that there's anything interesting to split other than a few antiques. :P cause if my parents were counting on grand kids I'd be *screwed* my brother has 4 kids, and we have 3 cats :P
