Catch up two

So let’s ignore the turmoil around us. The storms that have soaked the area around us, and look at some of the good stuff over the last few months.

Suave said she had a good time at the HS reunion(in November) and found people to talk to. This was good, as she was hoping I would be there. She had the same fear I would have going by myself…what if there was no one to talk to? For people who do not know each other, we both find the other interesting, based on our emails back and forth. Oh well, maybe in five years we will meet?
Of course, my biggest fear was that a former friend would have been there and I would have to figure out how to reach to him. Bad as it may sound, he is one person that I wish was dead. Yes, someday I’ll try to write down what happened.

YS and ES were out here for lunch last week. I spent an hour working on YS’s car door. I got the window to stay up and fixed a few other things on her car. You really don’t want to spend too much on a sixteen year old Honda. Both sisters said that they seriously need to make sure that they live near me so that I can fix things for them. Of course, ES would have to move back from LA.
Well, I know that OB will be moving back here in five years. That will give us another fix-it-man around the area. I am sure that between my brothers, we can keep things running.

Well, we are off to Prickly’s for new year. Perhaps a little less turmoil in the coming year?

So much to do,
So little time.
So many words,
So few that rhyme.

At least Christmas is over with! I just could not get into the spirit of things this year. Not as bad as last year.
But there were fun things. We went down to LA to see our son. It was his and wonder Girls’ birthday. That was fun. We took the Tommy-dog with us and he kind-of had fun playing with our son’s dog, Enzo. Aka Enzo-matic, aka the devil dog. But 11 month old Jack Russell Terriers are not known to have manners and a puppy is always busy.
We managed to have breakfast with The Catcher. That was nice. WG made our son’s favorite meal for his birthday, Lasagna; dessert was carrot cake. WG is a great cook and there was plenty of food leftover for our son.

Christmas eve and day were quite busy. Dinner at my dad and step mom’s for the night before. Christmas dinner at my Younger Brother’s house. His wife did a great job making sure the dinner went well. She had even invited several folks from her work, who had no Christmas to go to. While YB and his wife kept things going, I helped monitor the tri-tip and chicken; cooking on the barbecue. Younger Sister and Even Sister (you figure it out :-) did most of the prep work and bought the food. When dinner was done, I took over the sink and washed up the dishes. WG, YS, ES, did a lot to help put the food away and clean up. We all work pretty well together and this left the guests time to talk and socialize.

Breakfast, lunch,
And always dinner.
Why is it,
I don’t get thinner?

A failure to communicate?

Four email addresses,
four IM’s,
three phone numbers;
not counting work.

Oh, could Prada Girl say she would be in town?

Yeah guys, Communication received. Loud and clear.
