So a buddy of mine just started a trip along the Great Loop (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Loop). He's doing it solo on a pontoon boat. Left from Louisiana on Thursday and as of yesterday was just past Port St. Joe, Florida. Planning on meeting him in Annapolis whenever (if) he makes it up this way.

I’ve always wanted to do that.

Wow, never heard of this, but it's pretty wild. Seems like quite a bit of open water in the Gulf and Atlantic for a pontoon boat.
 
Love is your MIL packing up every scrap of food in the house to give to us and is then like “oh wait what are you gonna have for lunch?” The plan was leftovers and she “insists” she doesn’t mind unpacking it but yeah, no, we’ll just get something on the way.

I don't golf (I'd need a new wardrobe). The Lahaina fire was no joke. Tons of clean up and rebuilding to go. The memorial along the coast is pretty powerful to think about what was happening

I thought love was when your mil invites herself for a visit, arrives with all the fruits, veggies, and assorted leftovers that will "not keep while she is away" and fills our fridge with said crap. It's already gone bad.

Well, you see, my in-laws “normally don’t eat this stuff” (all of the chips, pastries, candy, cake that they load up with that were not requested). But then you’ll have my FIL snacking on pastry and cakes all day every day during our visit.
 
I spent 4 days at my in laws and my wife absolutely blew up at me on Saturday evening after I asked a totally innocuous question about packing the bagels her dad bought us in the suit cases for the flight back to FL. She sat down next to me with her lap top and I asked my question and she said she didn’t know and didn’t have the energy to talk about it. And I said something like ‘ok, but we are leaving in the morning and I want to pack up tonight so there is less stress tomorrow’ and she snapped at me with a stern and annoyed “I told you to leave me alone!” And I responded with something like “geez it’s just a simple question.” She stormed out of the room and shouted “don’t you dare raise your voice with me, I told I am not talking to you about this right now!” With an absolutely murderous look on her face.

Since Saturday night she has barely spoken to me and last night I slept in a separate room and I’ve been increasingly upset about what the fuck happened. Until just now when unpacking my suit case I see her open suit case next to mine with a bunch of papers on top. Looking at the papers, I see that her mother gave her a copy of her signed DNR and power of attorney documents and a paper printout of all their bank accounts and email and social media login and password info, and now I realize why she is so upset. Her mom is 81 and in physical decline and her dad is 82 and in rapid mental decline and her mother gave her all of this stuff just in case and it is obviously scary and sad. And then I had to persistently ask some dumb question about the fucking bagels. I feel like an asshole right now, but why the fuck wouldn’t she just tell me about the papers and how upset she was.

We get a little of the first. And a whole lot if grampa eating anything full of sugar he can shove down his gullet. A sheepish "Oh, I had a few" is not exactly accurate. He once said he was going to make the kids hot cross buns for easter.

He made 36. 36 pastries for two kids. And four adults I guess. He definitely ate a few
