    GFA’s in laws are very cool. I’m Facebook friends with his FIL and occasionally leave thinly veiled sexual innuendo as comments.

    Tonight is like a light appetizer with my sister and BIL here only. Sister who has never earned more than $10/hour complained for 30 minutes about the price of super cars but don’t worry they have started coming down! BIL went on a ten minute rant about bail and what happened in Wisconsin but no hard Rs. I’ll call tonight a success.

    What are FIL’s thoughts on the train-aficionado, viral sensation Francis Bourgeois? Too mainstream? Or a saint for finally getting trains some more clout?

    Things are heating up at the jbr house.

    My FIL is playing the hits and had to cancel Harvard Business Review/MIT Sloan Management Review because they are just too woke these days. He doesn’t read those magazines for advice about diversity and inclusion, he reads them for ideas on engaging and motivating his workforce.

    Plus, he knows what it’s like to be a marginalized minority as a white man living in Hawaii and Japan. He doesn’t need a lesson on that subject since he’s actually lived it.

    It’s a thanksgiving miracle! SIL and boyfriend are back together! Back up to 17 people. Can’t wait for him to show up in a tank top, jeans, and black boots. He also doesn’t like football and prefers to discuss his electronic music that he makes.

    No but one time he plugged his phone into by stereo setup and played it. I try to be a nice guy but told him eloquently my house my music fucker. He did bring a ukulele one year and played a song for the fam. I walked outside.

    No but my wife was just texting with one of her second cousins who mentioned that he made granny’s famous recipe for Jeff Davis Pie. Amusing considering that this cousin is 25% African American

    Some juggsian research tells me that this is pecan pie without pecans topped with bourbon whipped cream. Sounds delightful

    he thinks Francis is very entertaining and wholesome. he does not like the go pro angle. I explained that this is just modern cinematography but he doesn’t like the angle.

    “of course over there, trainspotting is a very big deal, not just the type but seeking out the right locomotive numbers, which all have their own histories”

    he proceeded to tell me about his time watching trains with his friend backpacking across Europe until my eyes glazed over

    No idea. 30 year military. In his mind, probably everyone.

    In my experience, the people that have actually killed people don’t talk about it. So I’m skeptical that his claims are true.

    Maybe the Road to Surfdom is less

    History abounds with examples of government officials making decisions, well-intentioned or otherwise, that harm others. Unfortunately, these unintended consequences are never anticipated, and rarely considered once they occur. As the Tuttle Twins find in their latest adventure, central planning can ruin people’s lives

    MIL will not stop nagging me to put the turkey in saying it takes 4-5 hours to cook. I’m telling her it will be 3-3.5 which she says no chance. We have had this same argument three years in a row. Last two years I caved in and bird was done an hour and a half before we wanted to eat. Not caving this year, pouring another screwdriver.

    Doing my MIL's today. I didn't find out until after the fact that we weren't sitting down for a formal meal until after everyone except me ate what was prepared. My wife then proceeds to ask me no less than 5 times over the last hour and a half when I was going to eat. Finally I said "Is it really that important that I eat right this second? I promise I will eat, I'm starving." And now I'm an asshole

    He was disappointed when I told him that he couldn’t smoke it in my condo because my parents were stopping by before dinner as well, but understood and is now smoking it in the parking lot across the street.
