All of a sudden my throat is feeling a little tender.  I did take that emergen-c last night and there wasn't a problem until now.  I guess I need to take it again.  I surely don't want to come down with anything, especially now that the weekend is upon us.  Tomorrow there isn't anything particular on, but Sunday is Nicholas' farewell and a family gathering.  Can't miss that.  We had a smaller family gathering at Chic-fil-a for dinner with Lucas and the twins.  The playground was the best part for them.  I was a patient grand pa and they were able to play for about an hour.  I came home with work to do, but little energy and less desire.  I did do some, but I left most of it for tomorrow.  Didn't have a whole lot of time with Sheilas today, but we grabbed a few minutes to just sit and talk while the kids jumped on and off of the bed.  I hope that they are asleep, but I won't know for sure until I go up in just a moment.  I need to do the skimmer and then my pre-retire ritual.  Last night I was too drained to do my 55, but I did do them this morning.  I feel like I'll have enough to do them tonight and then I have some thought to ponder.  One of which comes from something I say on tv last night where a preacher said:  "I don't know if there is a God.  I chose to believe that there is, but no one can know".  I have been thinking all day about how I am grateful that I do 'know' and how those that I rely on and associate with 'know' too.
