The following day

Well, forty lashes because I neglected to say that yesterday was Arnie's birthday. Not telling how many years old he is because those of you with a need to know know.

Today I had to boogie on downtown to Friends during lunch for a parent teacher meeting to hear how Kate is doing in school and: she is doing splendidly. She is doing so well, in fact, that I will be going out after work to buy myself a present I'm thinking I, too, need to make a statement and the red wedgie shoes she selected are definitely making a statement for her. Maybe they will help me too.

Went up to Columbia last night for class #3 about social media and finally I think I'm getting it. I can now almost twitter in style.
