ok, so not the time recently when i left the watch in a pants pocket. i really thought that i was pretty good about checking. don't ever put a watch in a pants pocket, is the advice. ok. but i have been known to find a $20 bill in a coat pocket. and i know this means that it's a while between coat cleanings, (this has been mentioned before, i think) but still in my black coat are wonderful tickets: "Pippin" from March 2007 at Foothill College. Stephen Schwartz' first major show. wow. And "Jersey Boys" from December 27, 2006 when Linda got tickets for the whole family. so, it's nice to reach into a pocket and find these things. maybe after i get the coat cleaned, i will replace the tickets because it is comforting.
today was a major trip down memory lane. well, two trips.
i went to visit someone i worked with 30 years ago. someone who has never met my boys. she is a roman catholic nun. i got a bit lost wandering in the hills above los gatos looking for the facility where the older nuns live. but finally i found her, ate lunch (yummy tapioca pudding for dessert), visited in the library where she spends a day a week, driving down from san francisco, and looked at my pictures on the laptop. felt like we hadn't seen each other in a couple of years, but not 30. amazing.
after the meeting at the JCC i drove to Northwood School where both boys spent K-5 and the grade 2-3 teacher is retiring tomorrow (yeah, mid-year, has to do with fully vesting a year and benefits) and the kids were in her class in 1989-90 and 1994-95. she got to see pix from europe and J&D all grown up. i snagged a few of the old photo albums to share. a bunch of the old gang showed up today before i got there. that was nice.
taking advantage of nice weather, ketzl is outside in the front. i'm taking advantage to start doing the first of three loads of laundry. oh boy. the new jeans etc from the presidents day sale, some of which will need hemming. the pair from my sister (in exchange she got 3 pairs woo hoo). and i need dinner.
it's been a day.
so i guess i need to get something to eat.
