The big picture


It seems as though the last few posts have been out of sequence and are a little unclear.

Thursday:
Mom and Bruce came to town with their hotsy totsy convertible. Dotty and I thought this was a gift for us, but alas, it was just a rental car. We will try to overcome our sorrow.
Oh, and I bought a treadmill. SWEET! But I have no place to put it....bummer.

Friday: Mom and Bruce and I went to UNO to pick up my diploma. To my dismay it was actually there.... they did it right. I never need to go back unless Joanne makes me walk. I promise I will make you all sit through one of those ceremonies next time.

Also, Sean and I went to visit the lawyer. By the time we got back, a crew had begun lowering the house next door. I rode my bike to city hall with the quickness. I was told that even thought the work was unauthorized, this sort of thing happens all the time and they had no intentions of sending anyone down there to stop the illegal activity.

I have never felt more crushed in my life. I am desperately fighting to preserve my belief that all good things are possible. I do not want to loose my enchantment with justice.

The meeting is on Monday; I will post an update then.

Also, Sean went fishing and caught 3 trouts and a redfish.
The day ended with a dinner at Adolfos, the restaurant upstairs from the bar sean was playing in. Bruce couldn't come, so it was just William, Mom and I. Paul and Anto met us later.

Saturday: After the farmer's market, we all went out to lunch at Fortissimo: Sean, Myself, Mom, Bruce, Joanne, Dennis, and Christian. It was a great time, I was glad for parts of our families to finally meet.

After Mom and Bruce left, Sean and I began working on the back room. We stayed up until 3 AM and got quite a bit done.

Back on Track


Mom and Bruce left this evening after a wonderful visit. It was an admittedly low-key visit, but nonetheless, eventful. Shortly after they left, we started kicking ass on the “laundry room”.
