High-res photo My extended family in Memphis did Christmas together, at my grandparents’ house, like always. They’re an attractive bunch, my dad’s side of the family, aren’t they? Though I couldn’t be there, I’m ever so thankful that my grandmother is healthier now. There would have been a sad pallor over this holiday had she not been there. She’s just a flight away. They all are. My redneck relatives of the South. Should I ever choose to up and fly to Tennessee. Hah. I’m a Yankee traitor now. Damn straight.
