I almost said “I’ve missed the drama.” But that would be inaccurate. It’s more accurate to say “It’s has been a long time since I experienced the drama first hand”. I had forgotten what it was like.
I wonder if the heightened state generated by the drama is needed to satisfy some missing emotional need.

Or perhaps it’s just me – that I have insulated myself from the constant roller coaster for so long that just observing instantiates a queasy feeling in the pit my stomach.

Or, maybe it’s just family. It was a twelve hour trip hear so I listened to first six books of the bible on tape.

Caine killed Able – wonder what dear old mom and dad had to say to him bout that.
Joseph’s bothers sold him into slavery and then went home and told dad that he was eaten by wild animals.
Jacob worked for his father in-law for 7 years so he could marry Rachel and on his wedding night, dear old Dad pulled a switheroo, and slipped Leah under the veils. And Jacob worked another 7 years for Rachel.

Talk about your old time drama – I guess this has been going on for about six thousand years. I think it would be a good thing to consider myself lucky.

Thanks, I feel better already. I needed that. I guess families get to do stuff to each other that a total stranger would not dare.

Tomorrow is a new day.
Hmmm. I wonder, do I have to be a actor in the stage production or can I sit in the back and be a critic.
Funny, though, when ya put it that way, it sounds like “your either part of the solution or part of the problem” or “lead, follow, or get out of the way”.
I guess I need to get into character for my role in the play.
