Yesterday was the last day at work with the wedding looming
on the short horizon. In addition to the
frenzied completion of several projects I was called upon to take a mid-day
sojourn through the beloved highway system of Connecticut. If you read yesterday you know that I
volunteered to take some of the heat off myself from a very focused wife.

| Daughter Arriving in New Haven |
The drive was to pick up my daughter at the train station in
New Haven. Dare I say this out loud (?)
but the sojourn in the Nutmeg State was actually enjoyable – a true first. I think I surprised the malevolent interstate
highway spirits by making the trip at the unusual hours of a mid-day
weekday. The trip was even enjoyable, especially
the second half when I had my fellow movie guru for company. We caught up with each other and then
listened to several podcasts (whatever the hell those are) about some recent
movies. The trip was entirely too short.

| It Was Wednesday So A Selfie was Called For - Finally With the Daughter |
Especially since I had to return to work after dropping the
daughter off with her ecstatic mom. I
got everything done I needed to at work, including keeping the excellent boss
out in front of the political types. I’m
worried he’ll get himself in trouble with them while I’m gone. I stayed late at work catching up but also
because I was leaving from Worcester to pick up the second load of the day –
The PanaGals! My wife’s two sisters and
two cousins were arriving at Logan Airport in Boston.
 |
| The PanaGals are Back! Shopping Centers Beware |
The trip through Boston to the airport was right at the end
of the typical horrendous rush hour traffic but I found a satellite radio
channel that was playing some of the Steve Martin’s old comedy routines; still
funny even though some were more than twenty years old (damn – I’m getting
old).

| In Addition to Conversational Abilities - Some Real Beauty in These Bloodlines |
My wife is an extremely able co-pilot and not because of her
nonexistent navigational ability. She
keeps me awake by an almost constant, stream of consciousness conversational
ability. Multiply that by four and you
get an idea of what my ride home from the airport with devastatingly beautiful
PanaGals (I was directed to include that) was like. After the quiet solo ride to the airport the decibel
level increase was welcome. I don’t think
we stopped laughing the whole hour and half.
 |
| My Daughter Introduced me to a Very Funny Show on Comedy Central - Drunk History They Get a Celebrity Drunk and then Re-enact History Which he Tries to Narrate- So Funny |
The cacophony continued when we arrived home and my wife
added her abilities to the maelstrom.
She was obviously on cloud nine being surrounded by family again. My daughter and I retired to watch a movie
while the constant thrum of conversation never abated and moved throughout the
house for the rest of the night. You put
five women from that Panamanian blood line together and watch out. It’s so fun to have a full house again. It fills up even further today with the
return of the groom to be, Wing Man, and one of the musqueteras; oh, and I’M ON
VACATION!
