Family reunion - a synopsis.

A meeting? What family reunion has a meeting, with a historian, head
corrispondant, and treasurer? Mine. No one talks to each other (at
least outside of their immediate family), unless it's to make mildly
witty banter as if we were stangers we needed to amuse. Boring people.
Talks of cancer, lineage in diseases, hereditary problems, and more.

Like a business meeting, there are reading of past meetings, and
reminiscing of old times through regimented time sheets written by a
secretary age 86, writing in chicken scratch. Collection plate to pay
for the hall for the next year, where half the people that are here,
will not be. They trap you by having the meeting after the food,
because you can barely move let alone what you wish to do, run away.
