Golf, tobacco, and family!

[fatman]

Being from a large Cat'lik Irish family, we're spread out across the States like $.98 in nickles. We all met in Greenville S.C. starting on WED, 16 Mar for the big St Paddy's Day party on Thur. We ate, drank, played a helluva lot of golf, attended my niece's wedding and smoked plenty of cigars. P.M. was relax'n on my sisters deck w/some 18 y.o. booze and some fine pipe smoke'n and recalling the years gone by! Again I say, life is grand.

Grand indeed! I love all of those things, and wish my family was on good enough terms with each other to have fun like that!

Sorry to hear that. Perhaps all will settle down b4 it's too late. My 'baby' brother is 50, hes the youngest of 7, my folks are still alive and can whip up a great Irish meal and handle the 'craic' w/the best of us. There is something about a fine ceegar to mellow the meanest and the smell of nice pipe soothes even my mean ass'd old man!!

Thanks for the well wishes, I have come to think of my friends as family, and we frequently do all the things you mentioned, blood relatives be damned, they're the ones missing out :crazy:
