As if I wasn't busy enough I actually sort of took myself a vacation today.  For some strange reason that I can't explain I decided to watch a movie.  A few weeks back Kathy & Richard had loaned us a dvd player.  The one we had previously sort of ate itself up and the grand kids needed their video fix.  All I knew about it was that it showed up one day.  We took advantage of it over the Memorial Day week end when we had all of those movies that we rented.  So today I had the urge so I popped my 2 disc French "Count of Monte Cristo" in and watched about 6 hours of it.  With all of the versions of it that I have seen before I was surprise that I had forgotten so much of this version.  I didn't like it quite as much as I remembered because some of the scenes in the other versions are memorable, but this version had a few of those too.  So it took me away for several hours and I even changed my mind when I got done about watching the NBA ball game.  I have cashed in all of my tv chips so it is time to turn the machine off and just finish up my day.  We haven't heard for the Porters about their trip.  I am anxious to hear how it went.  I know how it finished, but not about the Virginia part.  I also am looking forward to having my wife back again.  This working all day stuff is hard on me (and her too).  But it will be over soon.  I am glad that the week is almost over.  It has really been quite busy.  I do wish that all of you would be coming to Sunday night, but I know that that isn't going to happen.  I just wish that it would (poor me). So much going on so little ability to deal with it all and --'now write something positive' is the order from the boss lurking to my right and reading this over my shoulder---so much to appreciate.  I may still be waiting for my 'impending', but the stuff that is actually happening each day is really quite spectacular and satisfying.  Hope that it is for you too.
