As I looked about the room, I saw a few new faces, but mostly those of the men we have come to know over the past few years. Our little brigade has grown and evolved and owns much common memory. Now, we are known to each other rather deeply. As is the case with any family, there have been great bushels of laughter, a few words that might have been better left unsaid, some romance, some dalliance and some easily forgiven nonsense by the revelries of the moon. We have supported each other in unwarranted ways, and have not written each other off because of imperfect behavior. We have kept secrets, and not kept secrets. We have sometimes embellished the secrets we have not kept. Throughout, we have edited and framed each other brilliantly.

What a loving addition to the family album. Sometimes I envy the closeness you have with your family of choice—until I remember why it is that you need it. Many more celebrations for you all.
Birdie
Well-phrased.
Yours, too, birdie.
Glenn, honey, you're supposed to chew with your mouth closed.
Love,
your friendly neighborhood hobbit.
ps. I want the recipe for the bacon cake.
I would like to thank the photoshop fairy. My crow's feet have completely disappeared.
I had a lovely time, and I couldnt agree more. I look forward to every single opportunity to gather with our family, such as it is.
