Another three-day weekend glimmers on the horizon. To be filled with: kids to watch, Son's Birthday Party, excessive amounts of grading, fiction contest to judge, "Pride and Prejudice" to watch, what else? I'm sure there will be food and drink as well. Melting of the snow, I hope, perhaps an outdoor run. Right now I'm freezing, so that doesn't seem likely.
Today I plan to go work out, have a few meetings, go to the Dollar Store for goodies (for Son's party), buy Son a birthday gift, maybe do some grading. I swear, I've read so much student prose lately (summaries, Vista posts, drafts of stories, rhetorical analyses) that I don't think I would recognize a good idea or well written sentence if one ran up and attacked me with a blunt object. Not that I want to be attacked with a blunt object. It's just...
Time to face the real world. Which means sitting on the couch drinking tea for at least another half an hour.
Happy President's Day weekend! I'll be remembering how, 7 years ago, we spent the weekend in the hospital watching TV, letting people bring us food all day, trying to forget that I had staples in my abdomen. Aah! The good old days.

I will also be hoping for an outside run. I really need it, but it's so hard to brave the cold. Why does the cold seem worse when running is involved. I'll walk to the store, I'll go skiing, but running?? But this weekend, yes--at least two outdoor runs.
Yes the kids get Monday off but ASU does not. That does not seem fair. Of course I am late in getting Son's card/gift off. Tell him Happy Birthday and I bet you will have loads of fun at his party. Hope you survived Valentine's Day as well. I am off to do more homework and grading.
Eh, skip the grading. It'll get done, right?
Grading is for suckers. Just kidding. Hope the birthday party is a swinging success.
SEVEN YEARS AGO????
Jesus.
