| Directing Operations at Home Again |
After a fabulous Saturday where I
spent the entire day outside enjoying autumn’s last gasp, New England reminded
me in no uncertain terms what is inbound. At half time of the Patriots’ game I
rushed to put Buddy outside for one of his constitutionals and almost killed myself.
It had been spitting rain and snow flakes all day but I was wholly unprepared
for a deck coated in ice. My wife heard my yelp as I performed some gyrations
which I’m sure would have been severely penalized by the East German judge.
However ungainly my performance I did avoid the face plant on the frozen deck
that seemed imminent at the outset. Buddy seemed amused; he did much better,
being equipped with those damned claws that have inflicted so many wounds.

It was nice and decidedly less
stressful Sunday than during my wife’s absence as she assumed a number of the
duties that I had to accomplish in her absence. I paid for it with a renewed
vigor to attend Sunday mass and through several lectures on the state of
cleanliness in the house. You’ll recall she promised no retaliation when she
instructed me to cease cleaning operations prior to her arrival. This promise
was no match for the some of the situations she has encountered, apparently.
It was still so good to have her by my
side in the Man Cave as we watched the Patriots dismantle a bad 49ers team in a
driving rain by San Francisco Bay. It was a strange game with the Pats
seemingly dominant and also vulnerable at times. I got the impression Belichick
was tinkering with his defense because he could afford to against an inferior
foe. At least that’s what I hope I saw. My wife took the opportunity to comment
on my collection of birthday gifted movies. A huge stack that will require an
investment of time I probably won’t have until 2017.

A true highlight for the day was the FaceTime
cal with California. All have transitioned back to health and the First Blog
Reader was in fine form with her assortment of faces and dedicated peek a boo
play. She also tried to steal Wingman’s dinner after she saw that he was eating
something she liked. She was in constant motion for the entire call which is the
best indicator of her feeling better.
