OK. I’m taking off my hair shirt and hanging up my cilici.
Today is Ruth’s second birthday. Ruth is our first granddaughter. The thought of another life, connected to your own, just starting out, makes the world seem a more congenial and more precious place. Her blue eyes, mischievous quality and alertness augur an interesting and bright future. She feeds the dogs, carrying their bowls with that peculiar toddler rolling gate. She also crawls in the dog crate and closes the door to go night/night. (She’s just pretending.) Jon and Jen are good parents, another fact that makes the world more congenial and more precious.
A quiet evening after the workout. Started watching 30 Days of Night. Vampires attack Point Barrow, Alaska just after it heads into 30 days with no sun. One of the vampires says, “We should have come here a long time ago.” A bit of Draculian humor. A good movie so far. Great production values, interesting actors and really creepy vampires.
Kate leaves tomorrow morning at 6:15 AM (with me as taxi driver) for Denver to celebrate Ruth’s birthday, then onto San Francisco for a family practice CME. I plan to do some garden work tomorrow, like put down weed preventer and remove some mulch, maybe rake a bit. It’s still too early to do much, but I’ll be able to get started.
