Stop in for a cup of coffee

Hey Mike, I'm doing ok, at least I think so! My Dad's family going back as far as we know didn't express their emotions, they just soldiered on through the great depression and even with my Dad being the first college graduate I don't think they made a fuss about that. All my siblings get along, besides my sister and me, our two sisters my Dad adopted and our brother from his second marriage. Dad didn't have any money so that eliminates the main thing children fight about. The gathering at the airport Dec 4 is coming together, it will be a celebration with food and music.
for some reason I feel like I remember you saying you are Swedish...?? Many cultures are well known for being stoic when it comes to grief (and most emotional responses) -- and those that weren't "that way" learned it to some degree during the depression.. I have dealt with many "older folks" who seem unemotional - it is their coping mechanism.
