sunny skies (lyn)

Wake up early and walk with Karen.  The rain has finally stopped and the ground is dry.

Come home and get Alexander’s SAT scores online.  We are both very happy.  He will take them again, but he’s pleased with both Math and Writing.  Critical Reading, as Borat might say, not so much. 

Go to the lighting district downtown with Zelia.  I suggest some stores I know and like.  She finds the perfect lamps for both of her kids’ rooms.

Have lunch at a restaurant in Chinatown.  Steamed vegetables and shrimp.  Good and healthy.  We are starving three hours later.

Back to Zelia’s where I help her organize a room.  Lots of papers and ancient VHS tapes and files and pictures and old cassettes.    It still amazes me how much digital technology has changed our lives, and in such a short period of time.    Zelia is most appreciative of my help.

Come home and speak to poor Jean (my sister in Boston) who is still in a lot of pain from recent rotator cuff surgery on her right shoulder (a result of a stupid mistake made by a careless technician during a routine mammogram).  Sally (her daughter) also did well on the SAT’s.

Shari is coming home from Florida today after being gone almost two weeks.

Alexander tours Cornell with his grandmother (his dad’s mother) and is ecstatic to learn that this school does not put much weight on 9^th grade grades.

And finally, a good friend of mine in LA who was recently diagnosed with prostate cancer, is told that his cancer has not spread outside his prostrate; his prognosis is now excellent.

I feel light and healthy and happy.  Aside from not having a job, life is all good.
