Grateful

I have nothing good to say today. It's been pretty slow here in NM...

I practiced the organ today - I have to play a week from Sunday, and I don't really know what I'm doing. It's amazing how much harder it is to learn to play a new instrument as an adult. Helena was with me, but I don't think she was really willing to be there. She's been out of sorts because of her "monster molars." We also stopped at the library, where I had to make small talk with a former teaching colleague of mine. She's very nice and everything, but there was some "faketitude" there. I have to say, I'm so glad that practically any movie, CD, or book you could ever dream of is available from the interlibrary loan system. And, it's free. Can't beat it!

Dan is working hard right now on the computer, creating a few websites (or at least putting them together.) He is satisfied with his job, but he doesn't love it. I think that he'll probably work for a few more years and then branch off and do something else. For now, the freelance will help us to build up our savings account and begin to save for retirement.

No creative juices flowing here, so rather than bore everyone, I'll "sign off."

and we note our place with bookmarkers that measure what we've lost."
