"I have terrible family news. But Roz says I'm not supposed to say it like that because it sounds like someone died."
"Who died?"
"No one died."
"Good."
"Your cousin Martha's husband Brian, has decided to become a woman, so Lois is flying out next week to Martha out of Brian's apartment."
"Abby's apartment."
"Lois calls her Brian Abby."*
"Abby."
"Anyways so we aren't all getting together. And Bryce got a job! He's the manager at Jiffy Lube. So he works Sundays and then I guess we aren't getting together with him then either."

*there are 2 other Abbys in the immediate family, Alisse's daughter Abby and Niffer's cat Abby. We have 3 Johns and 2 Wades and 2 Jennifers. Wade's wife AND sister are Jennifer G (hence Niffer, Niffer hates being called Niffer). You can see why Niffer named her kids Saylor and Almathea.
Not like I can travel back in time and urge my brother to aim for a career rather than ending up at 38 yo as a manager at Jiffy Lube. He's probably disappointed in himself enough, but he needs to get food on the table some how. "The average salary for General Manager at Jiffy Lube in Colorado is $53,281." It'll be less than that in Pueblo. I'm glad his wife has a job. SIGH.
