in British Columbia. A 50th wedding anniversary. A gathering of the clans. I'm listening to Jerry call John, David, Chuck and now Karla. He's inviting them to go with. His plans are to fly John (+4) and family, David and HIS family (+3) and himself to Portland, OR and pic up our middle son and two kids, rent a 12 passenger van and drive to Kamploos; the interior of BC.

Everybody gets excited, everybody gets invited, they're pretty much going as one group... and all I get is to listen to the plans and listen to the excitement. Once more, I get left out.

... ... Oh, well. I'm just the ex-mother and the ex-wife. I don't count.
