Oh Good Heavens

Look at me, I have not written here in three weeks. I haven't emailed my friend Betty n Maine, either, because I am apparently not about the writing this ... now. I almost wrote "this summer", but of course, summer is over. It just feels to me like the summer vacation that never ended. Which is a good thing, albeit disorienting.

What can I tell you? I wrote a lot more when I was depressed, which I am not, so maybe that accounts for some of it. I can tell you that I have finally stopped having back-to-school dreams, and, many mornings, I actually wake up laughing.

Let's see, some updates. R's wedding is exactly one month from today. The big chore that remains for us is to make the centerpieces, which we'll be working on next weekend. Tomorrow night is her bachelorette party, which fortunately does not include me. My task for this week was to put together a "slide show" -- what is a slide show anymore, eh? -- to be shown at the rehearsal dinner. R and the SnL want no schmaltz at the wedding, i.e., no baby pictures, but his mother is in charge of the rehearsal dinner, and she wants all the schmaltz she can get, and I love doing this kind of thing. She sent me pictures and I made a six minute movie with iMovie. It's probably longer than it should be, but I don't care. It would appear that I love me the schmaltz as well. And it's done.

K is teaching, she is doing what she was trained for, and, dare I say, born for. All is well on that front. She's coming home tired, but happy.

As for me, I'm exercising again -- rode the bicycle around the block this morning -- and eating well. I'm feeling pretty good.

I haven't been writing, but I have certainly been reading, so, thanks for not dropping the ball like I did, everyone. I'll do my best to keep it up.
