Life time of living in BC has given me an appreciation for the absurd in politics and real life. Play bridge quite badly. Used to write. Love train travel. Happily married 40 years to man who does not play bridge and hates trains. I don't donate.
Some elderly parents have a personality change from nice to not that comes with dementia. I have the opposite problem. My mom, who I had a very difficult relationship with, is now quite nice. I feel like I'm left holding a bag of marshmallows after holding on to rocks.
