I'm in the same boat over here on the coast, Sal. When my mom died it all kind of landed on my sister and me. Over the last several years, it has faded more and more. Last year I crashed down at FFM's and had a blast!

This year, even my sister bailed, so it's just one brother, Jack, and me. We're having bison filets and a few bottles of wine, a salad, some good crusty bread and maybe a store-bought pie. To heck with them!

I'm sure we'll chase all that with some of Jack's pricy brandy.
