Mmmmm, Bacon!
RW, Prescient and unaccountable. Got the best possible early Xmas present today. Like a reprieve from the governor. Turns out that our son decided that it would easier to host the Xmas gathering at his house, rather than hauling his wife, two toddlers and all the accompanying paraphernalia to our house. Hallelujah!
Now I stand a decent chance of getting through the holidays without felony charges being filed. Not a 100% for sure, but better odds than before.

And you get to leave rather than hoping visitors leave.
Oops! Missed this earlier. All extremities continuing to function at about the same level. Gig at American Legion Saturday night went well although the crowd was a little sparse-rained most of the day. That's cause for hibernation in South Florida
. IDK what they'd do if it snowed. Funny part is that most of them moved down here from up north.

Here and intact as ever! I second all those who have commented on how busy things have been lately and how quickly time seems to be moving. Best wishes to all who are recuperating and/or have family on the mend!
Given you've been given a great reprieve, I humbly submit that you assist in kitchen or toddler duties to make sure your kind hosts don't have a mountain to deal with when you leave. It does make sense too-- we as GOF's had to do it all those years, now it's their turn!
@BadExample I hope your wife and mother are healing up nicely. Hope you have a nice holiday celebration.
They're doing great, Will! Thanks.

Oh, I will most definitely be on toddler duty! There's nothing I like better than being with my grandkids. I'd even sit at the kid's table* if there were enough kids to warrant a separate table. They're much more fun to be with than the adults! Too bad there's likely to ever be only the two of 'em.
*(like I'd be given a choice...)
First time in many years we are going to the kids house over in Flagstaff !. We are staying the evening at a hotel. Much easier on everyone! We are also treating ourselves on Saturday to a show at the Music Instrument Museum to see the Manhattan Transfer. I'm like a kid on Christmas Eve.

Kid’s table etiquette:
No changing diapers at the dinner table.
No taking your cloths off.
No burping or passing wind untill everyone has finished eating.
No food fights.
No talking with your mouth full.
Ask permission before eating from other people’s plates.
No sharing bottles, excluding booze.
Everyone has to eat all their vegetables.

Shoulda had the grandkids first.
I don't wear diapers (so far), but I take exception to all the rest of those "rules". You've excluded everything that makes sitting at the kid's table desirable! And most of the stuff that gets me relegated there every year. You missed several gems, or maybe the kids at your gatherings just don't put much thought or effort into developing their craft:
No overtly satanic rituals involving bloodletting or animal sacrifices.
No mashed potato sculptures.
No jello projectiles
No cranberry sauce on the ceiling or walls.
No yule logs burning outside the fireplace.
No sharpee tattoos on anyone under 5.
No vegetable based Stonehenge replicas.
No cat shaving.
I could go on, but clearly, the kids at your gatherings need to show more initiative.
There are traditions to be upheld, lest we descend into civility!!!
Those look like GOF table manner mandates.
You have to say Grace, first!
Looks like "Sluggo" is in Heaven!
Aww Man! No mashed potato art work!?
