Who woulda thought UNC would not even be able to pass the ball to each other for the first half or so of the game Saturday? Well I wish Randy and Alisha good luck. We will be watching Dancing With the Stars here tonight (Mario's idea, amazingly!).
I spent yesterday transferring my Christmas clothes from my closet to the storeroom. About time.
I am about finished with "Into the Wild." You should get a copy of this book. An excellent story. If anyone asked me, I would say put it in the senior high school English class as required reading.
We had a good lunch with the Dede bunch after mass yesterday. Nolan is now a jabbermouth. The restaurant is on a busy intersection, and he stood a lot of the time yelling, "Big truck. Another big truck." We could keep him entertained for hours just sitting on Broadway watching the big trucks. I am picking him up today, part of our plan to separate him from Mommy Carrie for awhile, and taking him for lunch with Grandpa Mario and to the playground for awhile. It is good for both of us.
Just wondering who will go next in Idol. I will be heartbroken if it is Brooke. I love that girl. I hope she comes up with a great performance. That will save her. I still think she could be a dark horse. But I am totally supportive of Syesha after she took on "the tiger" last week with the most famous Dolly song, "I Will Always Love You." You don't hear people sing that song because it is vocally extremely hard to do. So at this time I am going for Syesha, Brooke, David A., and Light My Fire.
One of my best memories of the past week was taking a trip out to Franklin and recounting all the good memories from my years at Franklin Grade School. I actually stood out on the playground where we played softball before there was any such word as "Co-Ed." Barb Oxley could hit the ball farther than anybody. The only thing I can remember is I could run fast. I went inside and stood in the doorway of my 5th grade classroom where Doris Fairfield was my teacher. She was beautiful, joyful, a great teacher, and valued all of us. I also visited the other school, taking a long look at that long sidewalk where we roller skated and Chinese jump roped at recess every day. A quick stop at the church and cemetery were included, as well as a long look from the railroad tracks at the growing-up home. I have found that in my rebuilding time following cancer, I am much better at thinking about all the good and avoiding trouble. So that's what I did. Oh, and I stopped by Don and Gene's, but they were not home.
Today I will get Nolan for a couple of hours, and let me tell ya, that is all good!
