The Outpost is a bit overwhelmed this week. I apologize for the light blogging. Between the doctor visits, dentist visits, school, nursing home, play dates, and the usual chores, I haven't found much time to sit and type.
Now that the half apology/half whine is out of the way...I am very excited that my brother-in-law and his wife are going to be here this weekend. (More light blogging.) They live in a hippy ski town broad-minded ski resort in Colorado. I love visiting; there's always a ton of outdoor activites and lots of partying. This place is the last few years of college, frozen in time, only without the exams and papers. The brother-in-law and his wife are pretty laid-back people, so it suits them. The VP and I would blow major arteries within a month of permanent residency.
Also returning to the Midwest: my parents have decided to come back home after running away for a couple of weeks. The Professor had his 50th high school class reunion out in D.C. They took the opportunity to visit several historic sites while they were in the area, and even took a few classes. Perhaps The Professor will share?
My nephew has his first Communion on Sunday. As I am his godmother, I will be in attendance to make sure he gets his wafer. And to see him in a suit. That boy wears a suit well. Last November at a family wedding, he looked better than the groom. (heh-heh...just kidding, Paula...sort of)
That's about it for tonight. I was going to write about how The Governor upholds every stereotype of "The Terrible Twos," but then I think about how he's only been two for twelve days, and it makes me cry.
A lot.
Oops. The news is about over. I wanted to check the forecast. 85 degrees today and tomorrow we're supposed to need our coats again. I love this place.

I'm really not looking forward to August.

As a godfather, ain't it great?
Posted by: Chris Muir at April 29, 2004 02:57 PMSorry to disappoint you, but the required wear for first communion is simply a shirt and tie....look for the professor, maybe he'll wear a suit.
