Hatch Patch

The annual love/hate fest for my mother’s side of the family is scheduled for this weekend — should be interesting as always. We all get along pretty well, we just hate (and I use we in its editorial form here) having to deal with the mosquitoes that abound at the family cabin. Fortunately, since said family cabin is less than a half-hour’s drive from my apartment, I can at least avoid having to spend the night there.
