 RH>> but I try not to go too far out of the realm of familiar with him.
 RH>> Just far enough that Steve and I are happy that it's similar to what I
 RH>> make at home, just different enough that Dad has a slightly new taste.
 NB>> Close enough to his familiar to be edible for him... and close enough
 NB>> to your regular that it's edible for you....  ;)

 RH> Basically, yes. I didn't add any heat as I knew it would not be
 RH> welcomed by Dad.

You might have been able to sneak a little heat in that he wouldn't have
noticed in a bad way...  but I don't blame you for leaving it out... ;)

 RH>> Steve's class reunions are usually in the summer--but we just can't
 RH>> quite time the trips around other things that we have to be there for,
 RH>> and still make the reunion.
 NB>> That's often the case, when one isn't living close by...  :)

 RH> As has been the case with us, basically, since leaving high school for
 RH> me. Steve stayed closer to home for a few years but moved away the
 RH> year before we got married.

And been a lot further away some times than others...  ;)

 RH>> Same as the last couple of picnics--we'd planned to attend, then family
 RH>> scheduled things the same week end so.....  we know what got priority.
 NB>> Exactly...  one has to balance priorities properly...  :)

 RH> Yes, and last year gathering was the last time Steve's folks saw one
 RH> of Dad's old friends before he passed away earlier this year.
 
Which helped to reinforce that being the right call, to go to that
gathering...  :)

 RH>> Nice to catch up, even if it's hit or miss for a bit. I probably
 RH>> should try to do some look up on people I'm interested in finding out
 RH>> about but not getting caught up on F'book.
 NB>> I have yet to do anything at all with Facebook... lots of other things
 NB>> to take up my time...  I do know a number of people who have found it
 NB>> quite useful, and most of my siblings use it for their regular
 NB>> contact, but it's not at all high on my list of things to consider....
 NB>>  The above mentioned friend isn't even connected by anything
 NB>> computer... one has to call or write or see in person to contact
 NB>> her...  :)

 RH> I don't know if my one sister is on it but her older son is (not sure
 RH> about younger son. Other sister is not on but her son is, one brother
 RH> is not on but other one is. I can be contacted thru e-mail (various
 RH> addresses), snail mail, net mail here on fido and the (cell) phone.
 RH> Facebook would take too much time away from other interests, IMO

I'm with you on that.  :)  I'm likewise contactable... email, snail
mail, house phone, even the cell phone...
