Thanks

We were to do TG with FIL/MIL but are now just doing the immediate FishProf family and we'll have another get together when things have settled down (assuming)

It's hard when the less ill person tries to take up all the oxygen in the room...in a way, good that you're not going there and having to deal with the secondary drama.

But the disruptions are hard to deal with; I hope your own immediate family can at least enjoy your time together.

We went over yesterday.  MIL did indeed try to take up all the Oxygen.  While it works on her kids, it doesn't on me and I was able to extract some useful intel from FIL that was previously withheld or obfuscated.

I am not afraid to poke the bear.

And how is that working out for you?

How 'bout them bear-pokers,
Ain't they a scare?
Scalin' them cliff-hangers,
Pokin' them bear!*

Well-done.
