Someone actually came up to me at a family gathering recently, a cousin of a cousin that I hadn't seen in years. She is almost exactly the same age as I am and she has a child younger than some of my grandchildren. (Which is hard for me to imagine for many, many reasons.) When we were all younger and used to have family parties for this or that reason, we sort of hung out cuz of our similarities in age and interests, plus I kind of liked her older brother. She actually asked me what happened to me, that I used to be kind of always up for a good time.
Today's CTA: Should I have told her?
At the moment, I wanted to regale her with a long string of horrible tragic events, but I just said I ran out of gas.
