... Marilyn would try to drag him into a conversation if she thought he was working...on Thanksgiving. Really. Luckily for me, Aunt Marilyn loves listening to my stories. You know, the ones about work and how the government really is and how screwed we all are? Yeah, those. Uncle Joe is more like me (born April 27th so he's also a Taurus) and will make snide comments here and there. Most of them ...
