Went to family Christmas a few days ago and before the hellos were done, we were praising Trump and badmouthing that other side. It was a great day.

I was just on the phone with a prospective customer, a guy I barely know.

Of the 15 minutes conversation, 12 of it was spent bashing libs and talking conservative politics.

I’m loving this.

My Dad’s side of the family is very bizarre. They are all card carrying liberals. Anyone to the right of Jimmy Carter is “right wing” in their minds. Every last one of them. They also, almost to a man/woman hate cats. It is just weird to me the lack of diversity of ideas. I bring up the cats because it is almost like some patriarch decided he hated cats, and everyone else fell into line.

Well, I just had nice conversation with my wife. I mostly listened. (I was told in no uncertain terms that I had to be nice...no politics.)
My wife is way Irish and it’s about how things look.

Plans changed a little bit.
Now it’s Milwaukee for brunch because we are adding people.
This is the first time we got together for christmas, with her whole side of the family, since her older brother died 6+ years ago.
This started out as a party of 3.

Adding her younger brother and his family plus my son & daughter with their respective families, it’s now a party of 18.

My nephew(Wife’s brother’s son) is a brainiac and a hell of a man.
Works for USAID. Got there via an internship with the Clinton Foundation (plus he’s a John Hopkins Scholar).
His sister is even smarter.

His father is a retired school teacher who retired(in his 50’s) because he thought Walker’s policies were going to screw him out of his taxpayer funded benefits.

I’ll try to be even keeled thru brunch, but when the check comes, I am going to ask for a recount and see how it goes from there....
