Mom's Birthday
My younger brother Josh called from Seattle, where he's away for meetings, to remind me that today was Mom's birthday. If she were still alive, she'd be 73 years old.
I am sad to say that I had forgotten. But I'm sure Mom would have forgiven me. :-)
For those interested, the kids slept very well on Monday and Tuesday night, probably because we did our best to help them get used to the idea of going to sleep. Yesterday we went out to a meeting of the New England chapter of the MWA to hear a police officer talk about her experiences in law enforcement. It was a fascinating talk, but that meant that the kids went from nanny to babysitter, so they were a little fussier last night after we got home.
More when I have a moment...

Not long ago, I had the thought that, if my father were alive, he'd probably be dead by now. (He died at 55 of an accident, but he never had a good cholesterol.)
