bounceback and cleanup
Mar. 7th, 2007 12:30 pmAfter the past couple of weeks, I've felt constrained from posting... after high-stress, challenging events like David being accosted by the waitress in SD, or James's concussion and hospital visit, it has seemed pointless to post the usual blog-details of daily trivia.
James seems fully recovered, without complications, and spent all day Sunday out at Shoreline Park making a video for school... he had earlier written, scored, and brought in classmates to record six songs in the soundtrack for what is really a short two-scene film. I'm impressed... this is a HS sophomore.

patgreene wrenched her back while volunteering yesterday at the Pacific Art League, and was flat with a heating pad for the rest of the day. I took off early from work in order to pick up her usual parental pickup-dropoff duties WRT James and Kevin.
As well as to clear out my yard for a spring cleaning pickup today... out to the curb went the broken recliner (bought new when Pat and I moved out of Stanford grad student housing, in 1991), the burned-out table saw (scavenged by someone), three broken bicycles (likewise disappeared overnight), the old bathroom vanity, and tens of cubic feet of just accumulated broken stuff... scrap lumber, fence pieces, torn-out cabinets from kitchen remodeling, old toys and garden equipment... all of the stuff that has made my patio look like a salvage yard for months. All gone, now, with 4 hours of gathering and carrying. Whew. Practically a therapeutic purge. :)
