| Two Happy People |
There were two very happy individuals
in a New York City hotel yesterday. I realize I may be vastly understated the
real total but I speak only about the people I’m sure of. Wingman’s tour
finally arrived in New York City and he made a bee line to the Upper East Side
to have some hang time with his daughter. I think the photographic evidence is
conclusive that they’re both more than happy with this development. When we
spoke this past Tuesday Wingman related how hard it was being away for this
tour with his daughter growing up seemingly each day. I’d forgotten how much they
do change at this age and could feel his frustration for being absent.

That was all fixed yesterday and my granddaughter
even took her daddy out for a tour of her new favorite place – Central Park. He
had to leave all too soon to return to the concert venue to do the rock star
thing. My daughter got to take in the show last night and reported this morning
that it was epic. I think I should change that total to three very happy
people.

I was left with the mundane work of continuing
the move across the street. My movie collection made the trip last night. That’s
not a small undertaking and much heavier than it sounds. I also helped out a
little bit with the deck construction. That help consisting of carrying some
very heavy planking out to the framework. The contractor accused me of showing
off when I started out carrying two boards at a time (his nickname for me after
our rock excavation effort this past weekend is “Kong”). He said I would be
down to one board at a time shortly. I, who had been planning to do exactly
that, felt honor bound to continue with two boards until I finished (it’s a guy
thing). Thank God for Motrin.

Earlier in the day I stopped by at lunch time to see how things were going and found my future next door neighbor feeding the construction crew. I've remarked before how lucky we are int eh neighbor department - looks like that streak will continue.

I was finally able to connect on the phone
last night with my favorite son. He’d been trying to get a hold of me all week but
was blocked by my efforts with the new house and the deluge of movies. He and
the ABFA contingent will be coming down for Fathers’ Day on Sunday and combined
with tomorrow’s return of the NYC ladies my weekend is definitely going down in
the win column. Oh, and today just happens to be Friday, the first one of the week,
and we all know what that means!
