  Aunt L, [Sister H], Mom, [cousin B] & I went to Krause springs. Stopped at Opies
  BBQ for lunch, had our picnic, swam. I took a nap. It was nice.
  
  Back home, sat & visited. Uncle Bubba and his wife came up & made their big
  announcement. [cousin B] wasn't ugly about it, but wasn't thrilled either. I
  said he'd be the same age I was when he was born when the baby
  comes along. Suggested that maybe he and the baby will have the kind
  of cool relationship that he & I do. He seemed a little enthusiastic
  about that, but then kind of went back to 'don't care' and said
  something (terribly honest but sad) about how it really didn't matter
  because he wasn't going to see it that much anyway.
  
  Uncle Bubba was very entertaining. Showed us their MT vacation photos,
  talked about his adventures, history, life the universe & everything.
  He wants us all to move somewhere & live together. WTF. Anyway...it
  was a nice visit. Uncle Bubba can be very charming & entertaining
  sometimes. More now that he's on Zoloft or whatever. Very pleasant
  visit. I am happy for them. They seem to be excited about
  their baby & I'm happy for them. Not very into babies, but I said I
  was excited to have another kiddo running around :)
