I am indeed, the keeper of the “tree of family knowledge” for my family, while they, the fruit of my loins”, might as well be deaf and blind.

8 of the total of 10 ‘children’ (min. age 32) are directly mine, and 2, maybe 3 will remember to call sometime late Sunday night, hoping I will be asleep. I won’t be… I’ll stay up just to carry on an extended conversation about hemmroids and other family news !
