Life Partner and Love

 


It was 28 years ago, on 8/31/94, that Sarah and I were in the same room at the same time for the first time and we never realized it.  Sarah arrived early on campus for Ware Outdoors and was getting her PennCard in Suite 323 of 3401 and I was on the other side of the 3/4 cubicle wall that "separated" the Meal Contracts Office from the PennCard Center, selling meal plans.  And we met a few weeks later, starting dating a month or so after that and now, on the 243rd day of 2022, we are celebrating another birthday for her.  8/31/2022 was a really nice day, I really appreciated Sylvia inviting us over and cooking a birthday dinner for Sarah and us all.  But what I also appreciate is my two for 2022: Life Partner and Love.  Could not think of anyone else I'd rather go through life with.  And, even if the night did end with the dog getting sprayed by some animal (skunk??) and us having to bathe and deal with a wet dog (and a stinky house), we did it together and that's all that matters.

Facebook and Memories

  I know a lot of people who have given up on Social Media.  And, yes, I concur that the FB business model is filled with issues and shadiness.  But, on a rough day at work on 4/20/2022, I looked at my FB feed and a memory came up that made me beam with joy.  You all probably can see the memory below, on the 110th day of 2022, of when Alexa hit two homeruns in a softball game and Sarah got them both on video and Collingswood won 13-7.  Well, it was not a lot, but it got me through today with a smile on my face.  So I have thanks for my two for 2022 for tonight, Facebook and Memories.  Days like today are what keep me on the platform (well that and my need for this nightly reflection!)  Good Night all and may your memories be happy!

UD and Family Weekend

Image
What a day the 274th day of 2022 has been.  Started off, where Anna was LAST year at the PTA Mum Sale for Collingswood High School.  A cold and wet sale that, although it did not sell as many we had hope we would, but the teamwork, camaraderie, and good humor amongst the myriad of volunteers made the time go fast (except for 7-9AM :-) ).  THEN, it was on to where Anna is now, and the Two for 2022 for 10/1/2022: UD and Family Weekend!  The Delaware Football Team won and is 5-0.  We got to see Kassidy and the Presses, I finally got to see Anna's dorm room (it looks really nice!), meet Anna's roommates, and check out the campus when students are actually present.  And we capped off the evening with some shopping, and dinner, at the Christiana Mall.  Anna seems to be really enjoying her time at UD and I am proud of her for her hard work and pursual of a career in K-6 education.  It was also really neat to see Family Weekend from another side, at a dif...
