Getting my car started

Somehow, charging $850 to get my car to start seems excessive. (Parts are $400....?) Nonetheless, that's basically what's in store  for me at Lucas Chevrolet later today when I pick up my 2002 Chevy Malibu (that Triple A towed there from my house yesterday). I am so sad.

Meanwhile, on a happier, "This is what America is all about", note, it seems this inspirational pair will be running again in 2014 to honor their fallen comrades at the Boston Marathon.(They were a mile from the finish line when the bomb hit).  http://www.teamhoyt.com/about/index.html

Yesterday was another DEAR lunch. We had fifteen people and are looking forward to next month's get together on the 22nd.

Earth Day was not as publicly touted this year as I've seen it in years past. Maybe my distance from the school environs has lessened the impact, but if so, that's a sad commentary on the world after 40+years of hearing about it.

It's nice to have free time now that tax season is over. :-)  (I'm watching the Homeland series. Wow.)

April now

It's five days since Tom's surgery and he is finally feeling better. In fact, we just got back from the movies. We saw Jurassic Park in 3-D. It was really good. The dinosaurs weren't as scary as i thought they'd be, but the general 3-d-hood was better than most I've encountered to date.

I see I haven't written anything in a MONTH! I guess I was busy.

Tax season is over, I've done some things with CONTACT and SHIP and danced, and Tom had a gazillion doctor's appointments and that surgery....He finally did something about his sleep apnea and is resting much better and so am I (no snoring!)

What else? Hmm....We won tickets to a Montgomery Gentry private-ish concert and that was fun.

Sue and Patrick were in NYC for a whirlwind trip, but we didn't get to see them
:-(

I opened a bill on the way to the movies tonight and almost had a heart attack, but then realized it was my neighbor's. He wasn't home, so we left him a message. I feel terrible (and isn't it illegal?) but it was an accident. Who thought a bill from Bank of America in my mailbox wouldn't be mine?

I wish summer weather would come back; I was freezing today!
