On a need-to-know basis, my family is *not* among the needy. Over the years I have done enough to alienate them, and given that I get along with them reasonably well at the moment, I'm quite content to leave it that way. We are in a generational transition now, with the passing of parents, land transfers, and different ones plotting and scheming, that to put something like this in front of them would just derail an already rickety train.

Never mind the other things about us that are, well, different...
