Even though it was a short work week
the First Friday of the Week seemed to take forever to get here. In what has
become an irritating development I find myself getting more and more tired as
Fridays arrive after a work week; further evidence that getting old is not something
to be pursued aggressively. Friday nights used to be the stuff of legends as I
was released upon an unsuspecting civilization. Yesterday, as a good example of
what I’ve sunk to, I was home from First Friday celebrations shortly after 5pm
and in bed by 11pm. I even started a puzzle! I consider these data points as
convincing evidence I’ve lost my way.

We did, however, have a very good time
at First Friday as the Brew City ladies welcomed me back from my two week
absence. They wanted to know all about my Central American adventures but I think
they were more relieved I was back to help with the “tipping” portion of the
evening. My operations manager didn’t show up so the pigeon was in play where
it was serially abused by a visiting beaver (see photo).

Today I planned on starting the adventure
of filling out my federal income tax return with all the attendant pomp and circumstance.
I will start that and have pledged not to touch the puzzle again until I’m
finished despite the siren call every time I walk past it. The Keene Friend came
to the rescue last night when he invited me up today for a catch up session,
which I’m reasonably certain will involve beer. So I’ve got that going for me.

My wife checked in from Panama where
she decamped from her parents’ house to spend the night with her sister a little
outside David. They’re planning a PanaGal invasion of the infamous Joron Zebeda
tonight in celebration of a PanaGal birthday (none other the former Mrs.
Cantankerous Friend). So her life certainly shows none of the wear and tear I
was complaining about above. So it goes. I’ll leave you with some more pictures
from California:
