Aunt Rant Day continues

I am back. I am glad that I was able to get the Aunt rant off my chest. She keeps talking about taking my wife out for lunch to celebrate her birthday (it was in April) but nothing comes of it. She was supposed to take her out over the summer but we all went along and my mother in law picked up the tab. I am sure that the aunt somehow took credit for getting the family together. She is a wonderful person.

She does invite the lad over to swim. Of course, she takes wonderful care of her pool and it is used so often. These days it is cold and green. I am not a fan of water that is both cold and green, call me crazy. If I want to be coated in green slime, I would become a fucking Ghostbuster. As cruel as I am to the lad, I feel it is all fodder for his trip to the analyst, I figure that I have to give him some entertaining stories to tell the shrink (it is only a matter of time and it is in his genes), even I would not let him get near the slimy, green, cold water.

There is this story that I think sums this woman up.....Years ago, I am thinking about ten or so, my sister in law and her kids are in from the US. The aunt invites us all for a swim and brunch. The woman can cook, I will give her that (unlike my mother in law). Anyway, the oldest of the neices has to be about eight to ten. They all go for a swim, the pool was clean and chlorinated then. We sit down for lunch and what does she serve....caviar pie. It was delicious but I am not sure what the children ended up eating. What kid likes salty fishy eggs? It is excellent but a strong and acquired taste. What kid likes capers at first try? My head spun and then it finally dawned on me.......she was cooking for the compliments not for her guests. Besides, whenever she invites people for food, it is like Mary Richards, not enough fucking food. We are Jewish and no respecting Jewish function ever runs out of food, run out of booze, yes, food, NEVER! It just ain't done and I come from a non-eating family (again take a look at me, my brother, sister or nephew).

I just cannot stop this raving and ranting! I am sure there could be more but I have to get her out of my mind. I watched that new NBC series, "Heroes" last night. It was like the X-Men but not in comic or cartoon form. It could be pretty interesting and has those interconnected story lines. It was pretty cool and could get more so as things set up. I will certainly watch next week. Tonight, it is "Rescue Me". I love that show, funny, dark and depressing all at the same time, just like life. It is pretty cool. I am done for today. Ciao!
