Avoiding Herbert
life is not fair
life is a crock
life is a sham
life is a curse
everyone is out to get you
no one stood up for me
no one cares about me
no one ever liked me.
Herbert has made up his mind.
he wants me to stay and convince him that he is wrong.
I used to waste my time with this.
now I excuse myself
and hide at the other end of the family reunion.
