The Great Plotnik

It's Father's Day and it's hot!

The Katzenjammer Kid is here today. Nefnik arrived late last night and the three of us sat out on the deck this morning enjoying coffee in the sunshine. What a beautiful day.

And we saw Fefnik last weekend at Mummy P.'s, with Vashnik. Fefnik and Nefnik may not be girlfriend-boyfriend anymore, but they're still a family, and so are we all.

We were having dinner with the Zinfandinis last night and the comment was made that "blood is not necessarily thicker than water, like everybody thinks." This was meant to mean that just because you're family doesn't mean you're gonna get along automatically, unless you work at it.

Everybody has problems with their families, or people in their families. Go back to the bible -- it didn't just start with all of us. Karen Zinfandini's family makes Plottie's (and yours too probably) seem like Ozzie and Harriet, Ricky and David, and if you don't recognize that image you probably stopped reading already.

Plottie is thinking Cousin Seattle is in New Zealand right now. Most often, that thought would fill Plot with wanderlust, but not today. It's shorts weather boys, and it's Father's Day!
