Last day of Sanity, er School
No, really I am glad Andy will be home for the summer. This will be a tremendous transition for him: watching me build my new business, moving out of our house into an apartment, and spending "know" time with my fiancee. As a parent, I need to be extra patient with him in everything. I am glad that he is ready to move, though. With a new bunk bed so he can have sleepovers (he's never been able to before,) a swimming pool and basketball court; he is ready to have fun. The weekends, for now, will be spent in the company of my bride-to-be, and I am praying that he finds her as delightful and loving as I do. For me, it is shoehorn time again, and I spent some time last night playing with scale drawings of the bedroom to see how my study furniture will fit into it. It won't. The work table and media cabinet will, but the bookcases and records will need to be stored elsewhere. I fear that the walk-in closet will be stuffed with things and not clothes.
The news this week hasn't been that good in Saudi Arabia, and the 9/11 report has been a good read for its breezy, conversational style; a huge change from some of the government reports. It has been amazing to read the minute by minute events of September 11, and essentially, how unprepared we were to deal with what happened.
The concert Saturday night was nothing short of awesome, though the sound system
could have had an assist from me, I think; the choral voices sounded very muddy at times. I was amazed to learn that the chorus was made up of people between 8-years old and over 70! The highlight was the appearance of 12-year old Robyn Bollinger (right), a violin prodigy from New Jersey. She performed Mendelsson's violin concerto E Minor Opus 64 and a great and technical gypsy rondo. The evening concluded with the traditional "1812 Overture" with the church bells, cannon fire and fireworks by Grucci providing a thrilling finale.
Today I plan to finish the demo video of one house and call my realtor to see what has happened, though nothing much probably did or he would have called me. If anyone wants to buy an adorable 3-bedroom English Colonial for $239,900, let me know.
Have a wonderful day, everybody
