November Update

The end of October was a bit sad for Julia and I as she visited her family in Atlanta.  We spent the first weekend with my folks, and the latter weekend with hers.  This was the seventh annual Freedom Day that we celebrated and we had a fantastic turn out.  Bill, Andrew, Berny, Wayne, Helen, Skip, Mom, Terence, Diane, Alan, Phillip, Julia and I were all at the Marlay House.  I was originally going to have it at the Thinking Man Tavern, but we had to move it earlier due to the wake of dear friend Holly Blain.  The event was fantastic and we had many good conversations before going our separate ways.  Holly's Wake was also a remarkable celebration, with probably 200-250 people there celebrating her life.   Afterwards, Julia went hope to spend the evening with her family, and I went to see the fantastic play The Doctor, The Devil and my Dad at Seven Stages. 

Then I went home.  For Julia, she enjoyed a nice week her family, the dog and the two cats.  (We brought Sasha back and forth with us during the missing week.)  For me, I saw John Wick, and otherwise spent my idle time playing nonsensical internet games.  The weekend we visited her folks, they took us out to eat at a magnificent Pizza place (Campania).  We spent Halloween night watching Abbot and Costello meet Frankenstein, which was just perfect.  Sunday was a nice relaxing day, and then we went home.

School is challenging but good for Julia.  Work has been pedantic in some of its hour requirements, but the work itself has been much more interesting than it was at Well's Fargo.  It was a slow but intense week for both of us. We're looking forward to a nice relaxing weekend at home for once.  My writing is going well, as is the podcast.
