Can't remember

Its been so long since I updated this page, I can't remember what books I've read or what I've done recently. I often elaborate on my "theories" in my head but never seem to get them to "paper."  


I started a new contract job recently. One that is 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, 45 minutes away - what was I thinking?! It takes ALL my time. How did I used to work full time? I actually haven't worked full time since before Carolyn was born, although many a time I've worked much more than 40 hours a week, especially if you factor in volunteer work. The job is interesting and the people are friendly, which partly makes up for its inflexibility. Partly.


We spent Canadian Thanksgiving hosting the Gill side of our family. It was my sis-in-law, Kathy's, 50th birthday and she chose to celebrate it with all of us at a beautiful restaurant in NJ Liberty Park, which is directly across from lower Manhattan, near Lady Liberty and Ellis Island. It was a really fun weekend. Thanks to all for coming down and Kathy for the amazing evening under the stars.

We spent U.S. Thanksgiving in Florida. Bryan and Carolyn flew down while Don and I drove. The weather was beautiful and company perfect! We had a good week together. It was nice for B&C to escape the media circus at PSU. What a monster ... but another blog topic maybe. 


And now I'm somewhat caught up. No theories this time.
