| FBR Birthday Invite with Pictures from 1st Two Birthdays And Practice for the Upcoming Third |
We’re back in the Red Sox imposed
sleep deprivation cycle as the World Series kicked off this week with
undeniably delightful results. It’s just plain inconvenient that employers expect
productive work after the past couple nights. Those nights were spent in the
Man Cave cheering on the Sox has they took the first two games from the posers
from L.A. The inconvenient part was having to host a regional vice president
from corporate yesterday. The hardest test was trying to keep my eyes open during an overlong
discussion with our customer. The fact
that we were discussing the extension of the contract here probably should have
been important enough to render that a little easier. The good news being the Red
Sox are winning and the contract is being to be extended.

We’re in the home stretch, at least
that’s what Deckzilla Dude claims, on the home renovation. Both the electrician
and the plumber are ready for their initial inspections which is a needed step
before the drywall can go up in the new addition. It can be frustrating at
times at the glacial pace for some of the work, not to mention the cost, but I
can see clearly what this new bedroom will be and it’s exciting. Whenever I get
too depressed I walk into the new space and look out the windows which provide
a spectacular view of the entire city laid out in autumnal colors.

Not much news from the granddaughter
front. The FBR was much too busy hamming it up for a houseguest yesterday to
devote any time to her grandparents. We did catch flashes of her as she sped by
the camera playing a game of tickle – tag with Wingman. Wingman is very excited
about a new job opportunity. He’s leaving the manager position he rose to in
his current restaurant to be on the ground floor of a new one opening near
their home. Meanwhile the BRS is fully recovered from her recent cold. Apparently
one of the behaviors that carried over from her period of infirmity is
realizing she can now crawl to one of her parents and demand to be cuddled
with. I don’t think either of her parents mind this development. My only hope is
that it carries over to grandparents’ presence.
