I wouldn't call them family. They're people I've been familiar with for long enough. But they're familiar enough to me that I'm loathe to lose that and have to start all over again.

See? There you go. There's fun to be had, not to let that slide, but it's all an effort no matter what side if it you take. I'll have the least of it tonight, if I can help it. It's a good night to do as little as possible.
