Almost 100 years ago a man named Morris and a woman named Rebecca started a family. They had 7 children. Those 7 children had 16 of their own children. And those 16 cousins went on to have 35 of their own children. Those 35 kids, second cousins mostly, spent a lot of time together when they were young. But once they grew up they moved all over the country and families got too big to keep in touch. But this weekend 7 of them got together in the mountains of Colorado for a little reunion and that’s why I haven’t been as active on Farcaster this weekend.

Weekend highlights: - Hiking the maroon bells - Watching a slide show of old family photos, from roughly 1940s-1980s - laughing at dinner with people who “knew you before you were you” Lowlights: - paying $7 for water in the Aspen airport - getting my ankle run over by a car (I’m ok, the Aspen ER is lovely)

That sounds like an interesting weekend. Do you speak to these 7 often? I only know a handful of my 50 cousins. And I'm affraid to start counting their children (and grand children no doubt). Anyway, how did a car run over your ankle? Good to read that you're alright, though. Morris and Rebecca must have given you strong genes. Is the car alright?
