Family and friends were over for easter. It was a nice get-together. We had too much ham and chocolate. 

After dinner, and after too much wine, the mother-in-law and W talked politics. It was interesting to watch. Both worked hard to be respectful. Neither gave an inch. Such are political discussions.

It's easy to say what you feel, what you think. We rarely say what would change our minds. 

Allen couldn't make it. He is in a thirty day treatment. He had been sober for years. Recently we learnt that he'd been struggling-- drinking behind the back of his boyfriend. 

Good for him to seek help.
