Yesterday’s rather mundane day at work
was transmuted early on by the news the Cali-Daughter would be returning to the
right coast one last time before the first blog reader appears. She wasn’t sure
up until yesterday that she would be able to fit in the trip while still in any
condition to fly. She dutifully reported yesterday that she would be flying in
on August 21st!!!!
While this was good news for me
because I get to hug her a lot it was transformative at home. My wife immediately
and decisively launched into preparation for a baby shower on the following day
- August 22. She had despaired of the opportunity to host a baby shower for her
very first grandchild due to the geographic challenges of the Golden State
location. I got very little out of her for the rest of the evening as she was
deeply immersed in party planning. She did emerge from her semi-trancelike
state to complain about not having our much larger Charlton house or to illicit
my opinion on something which was summarily dismissed (my opinion that is).

| Cali-daughter Will Return!!!! |
By the end of the evening she had a plan
in mind which will evolve continuously up to and including the actual date. It
was good to see that old fire in her eyes. She always complains about the work
involved in hosting a party but she’s so good at it and she admitted last night
she loves doing it. Of course this always has serious repercussions in my own
life’s path of finding the least amount of chores possible at home. Buddy and I
will be seeking serious cover over the next month.
We do get to spend some time with the
blog reader’s dad tomorrow as his band blows into nearby Hartford. We’re going
to skip the concert itself but kidnap Wingman upon his arrival in town until he’s
needed later in the afternoon. We may bring him back or just keep him.
