Wow.

Dinner was a buffet at a restaurant, 'cuz the aunt did not want to cook and my grandmother can't get into said aunt's house anyway. Edible and tasty, nothing phenomenal, although I was pleased to note the complete absence of anything vaguely resembling a raisin in the stuffing. I had turkey and ham, could have had fish and prime rib as well.

Hotel has free wi-fi. Who knew?

Tomorrow, visit with various family members, drive to Chicago, visit with parent and sibling. Saturday, visit more with parent and sibling, drive home.

Cousin's cat is a giant gray meatloaf with almost-stripes. I suspect his brother is the same, although brother was hiding. Pictures later if I can get them. I've met them before, they were meatloaves the last time I saw them, I have no reason to assume that the invisible brother has lost weight either.
