ellyssianStayed up too late last night, but I had wanted to write what is arguably *this* post of random updatia, but wandered off from the opening bit on biplanes. Saw two of them in action this morning, one flying out of the mist and haze, the other going to or from the Slatington airport.
Monday we went to get our taxes done - now I get to go back and smack them around a bit after verifying that we should get a deduction for donating Bessie even though the new regulations spend much verbiage on selling. There's the rather largish section explaining "usage" (which is what happened - they didn't resell the car as a fund raiser, they ripped it into shreds with the jaws of life for practice purposes) so that still counts for our purposes, no matter what the preparer and supervisor thought about it.
Tuesday I worked from home so I could attend a special luncheon at Rachel's school - the 45-60+ minute commute doesn't allow a mid-day back and forth run for lunch. Although my selection was a special "adults only" chef salad made for the occassion, the food was actually of a fairly high quality. Deb had an open faced turkey sandwich - one of the two choices the kids had - and it also looked reasonably edible. None of the ultra-processed, 4000 year old, slices of cardboard I fondly remember attempting to avoid in my youth.
Tuesday night, Deb headed up to Wilkes-Barre to attend aPickletrack Nickleback concert with her cousin - she had a good time, although she's proving out our newly adopted surname of "Typhoid Mary" by going through the last few days with a stomach bug and a steadily worsening cold. Still, not a week this year where at least one of us hasn't been sick. She persevered through both the lunch and concert though, but more or less took yesterday off to recuperate. While she was off, we had a gourmet meal, bathed the baby, and went to bed half-way through a rather boring American Idol. Or, at least, I did. Justin stayed up for it.
Nothing of note happened yesterday, except for the aforementioned staying up too late and writing a wee bit. Well, that and many of the trees down here in tropical Lehigh Valley have decided to puff up and declare spring sprung.
Today I noticed that the forsythia were starting to do the same - be a couple of days to a week before they do so up in far north where I live. Then again, with the odd weather, it seems that the incredibly nice day we had yesterday might have strongarmed the usual gradual wave aeffect into an abrupt change across the entire range of my commute.
