they started a few months before I knew my dad was going to die..he's the only one in the family I could ever really talk to..mom, brother and sister are trumpers and he was anti trump...the lovely mrs.doug is an only child with parents in their late 80s and not in the best of health which is a reason we are just 90 minutes from Vancouver now..I dont know, the older you get the more reality sets in..also the move back into Seattle is some added stress but we're both looking forward to being city people again..walking to stores and restaurants seems like it was a hundred years ago.plus I'm looking forward to finger flicking bammer in the nuts at a mariners game one day..
