The Glass Might Have a Crack but it's Filled to Overflowing.

The thing about family is you always have a choice between glass-half empty or glass-half full. This morning, Plotnik is thinking his glass is filled to overflowing, but in a glass with a crack somewhere that he can't see. Maybe that's just the human condition. Maybe that's just families. Given the wide range of families available on Earth, Plot is a very lucky man.

Yes, it has occurred to him that he is the crack.

But if he could ask his extended family to make only one change in their behavior, it would be to stop keeping secrets from each other, or, if they can't do that, to at least keep the secrets from everybody, instead of telling half the people, who then tell all the others, but add "This might be a secret. Don't talk about it."

But if they did that, Plot would have to find another blog entry. He's the crack, all right.
