The 1st Lady was up early this morning as she had planned to go see Michael by 9AM. I had an appointment for coffee with a great friend.....my former student AND my former assistant band director.....Michael ("Goldie"). We met at the local coffee shop in the city center and sat there for over two hours discussing our lives, our families, our plans, and the varied events of the past two months, including a bit of national politics. So you can see......those two plus hours flew by quickly with not much of a detailed depth discussion on any topic.
We did discuss our own individual aging.....and the changes it makes in our thinking and our lives.......including the fleeting thoughts of our own mortality. We discussed travel plans.....and discussed the probability of he and his spouse flying out to Arizona to visit us when we spend February and part of March there. He then followed me to the stick and brick to take a look at the newly remodeled rooms and the plans for the upcoming demolition of the kitchen.
When he departed, I hit the road and spent the next three hours visiting with Michael. Returning home this afternoon.........I didn't do too much of anything other than give a piano lesson at 5:30. And so, the rest of the evening was spent.......doing nothing!!!! HURRAY!!!! And evening of nothing while the 1st Lady spent the evening at the "fall" opening meeting of her sorority.
Wasn't this the most interesting post you have read??????? You see.....I DO have days that are normal.......if "normal" is the correct word. We are heading north for the long weekend to visit the 1st Lady's family.....and if you can remember, this is in a location that has not connection with cyberspace!!! Sooooo, unless I dash to Hannibal and sit in the parking lot of the Quality Inn/Suites I will not have access to the rest of the world.......DAMN!!!!
But......nevertheless......
Life is GREAT.....and I hope it is for all of you, also!!!!! (A wonderful morning, Goldie!!)
