A Three Month Reprieve Thank You Very Much

Man I was exhausted when we got home from the Cancer Center yesterday.  I hadn't conciously been worrying that much about it but it's always there and when we get good news I'm always flattened with relief.  So now I don't have to think about it for the next three months....

Owen desperately wanted to go to Art Nite at the school last night so we trundled off and that did revive us a bit.  Leo chose not to accompany us.  He just looked at me blankly when I asked.  "I hate that place, why would I want to go back there in the evening?"  I always find it difficult to argue with Leo.  So off  the three of us went to admire Owen's masterpiece....a watercolor depiction of an order of McDonald's fries.  Yes, I kid you not.

The rest of the evening was quiet.  I remember at one point asking Owen why he was tearing an old newspaper into little strips and he said, "I'm expressing my anger so I don't do it physically."  I thanked him but now I can't remember why he was angry.  I was rather impressed with his technique though.  I was glad to tumble into bed.  I'm reading Anthony Bourdain's most recent book but even that couldn't keep me up for long.

And in other news....it looks like times are tough all over....

And congrats to Don----who was sworn in last night and is now truly Mr. Mayor...
