Hanging in, thank you for asking. #2 Son will be moving out at the beginning of January. #3 Son turns 18 on Sunday. Lots of Spanish choir commitments this time of year, and I woke up this morning with la gripa, your standard upper-respiratory crud. Also, it's pouring rain. I think we'll be having a day indoors with The Great Courses. How are you doing?

Poignant farewells notwithstanding, sounds like it will be a long time before you are a certified empty nester!

I am not getting any younger, but thanks to FR, I've been getting smarter! I'm fixing up the house where I have cherished memories of my one and only offspring from many years ago now. Downsizing is good; church bazaars from miles around are getting donations!
