A Good Time

All three kids, husband, dog, mother and moi are relatively angst-free and healthy. I don't even have a strong hint of any awful thing I should worry about. What a relatively good place to be at 6 weeks from 58. How damned lucky I am.
This week will be busy... the first few days, anyway.
Monday....8-10 retired teachers here for an executive meeting and lunch.
Tuesday... help Dan get ready to go, leave him with Duncan while we go to Niagara Falls with Ann and Reg to the Casino to hear the Twelve Irish Tenors.
Wednesday... up by 4 a.m. for final prep. and to take Dan to the airport for his third trip to Japan.
Museum meeting at night.
Thursday...Mom day - physio, hair
Friday... my day of rest...ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha....well, maybe!
Notice that no school is included. It's March Break week. In the past, except for 2004, when Dad was 80 and I was working full time, we've been South during part of March, but $$$ and my lack of interest mean we are home this year. We cleaned out part of the front flower bed today and there is lots coming up. It's been a good March to be home.
Lucky me. Right now. Relatively speaking. Always must qualify!

Where to begin....(how many people who haven't posted for awhile begin with this well-worn phrase. Make it that many plus one more. Thank you.)
Jamie is less one girlfriend, but has found a new and much improved model.
Dan is going to Japan in nine days.
I'm teaching fairly often these days.
Duncan had an odd evening with moments of laying down in strange places. I just finished reading Marley and Me, so every suspicious move he makes becomes the next to last move I ever expect him to make. I know, he's only nine...and eleven months, but that's old in Bulldog years.
He may live forever.
The end for tonight!
