Far from being the basis of good society, the family, with its narrow privacy and tawdry secrets, is the source of all our discontents. (Edmund Leach)

Well, it’s certainly the source of my discontent. However, it’s also the source of most of my joys, so what can you do.
See my current GD thread.
I don’t “do” GD.
