the words of the elders

i spent christmas with my parents and went to parties in the retirement community where they live. i learned alot. all those auld geezers have an incredible amount of wisdom and experience. i was sitting at the seat of the elders. some of them were blowhards, but they still had something to say. some of them were on the "wrong" side of political spectrum, but still had something to say. i am glad i was there and can't wait until i go back and get to see them all again. that was the best christmas present i received.
