Yup. I remembered again, my quarterly update



I don't know if anyone even reads this stuff, but in the event someone does, here's the latest. We moved in our new place 3 months ago. Things are in pretty good order except the bonus room, which has all the stuff in it I don't know what to do with. I am waiting to see what happens with that stuff.

My health is good. I have to do a PET scan in a few weeks. I like that because if it is good, I can breath easy another 3 months. I hate that because I won't know if it is good until I get the results back. If it is bad I would just rather not know and just one day not wake up.

Calvin had figured out what to do with his life when he grows up, I think. He is going to a golf college in Phoenix. At least that is the plan so far. Sounds like a perfect fit for him. He is graduating from Sauhrita (spelled someway other than the way I spelled it, according to spell check) at the end of May. He is a cool dude.

Lauren is anxious to get this year done, she kept a count-down on her hand with a marker until I nixed that. She is excited for summer. I reminded her then she would be bored in a few days after school ends. She agreed, but decided being bored in a summer was better than being actively engaged at school. She plays this annoying slug bug game with me where she hits me everytime she sees a VW bug and "says Punch buggy, no returns." So I decided to make up a new game which she finds more annoying. Whenever I see a truck I punch her and say "big truck, you're in luck." She thinks it is stupid and that it is not lucky to see a big truck and I can't make up a game like that because the punchbuggy one is already up and running, but I figure some random person made that one up, I can make up one if I want. It especially gets exciting when played on the freeway.

The community garden: Kyle, his dad, me, and three of my single friends and their families planted a community garden in Santa Clara. We are quite a motley crew. Kyle had the land connection. Amazingly he asked if I wanted to join in and plant a garden. I say amazingly because he has seen 25 years of garden failure from my attempts and still asked me to join him. That is more amazing than the amazing fact we are now divorced and he still wanted to do a joint venture. According to his mom, we have the weirdest relationship she has seen. She is right. The garden is actually growing stuff, which is pretty cool!

Being single: I haven't gone to any single things, but there are perks to the single life. I did go to a dinner party of single people, there were even men there. And it was ok. The perks are that people call and offer free concert tickets when they have extras. I got to see Gladys Knight and also the American Idols at Tuachan for free. I didn't know much about the American Idols, but the tickets were free, so why not, but I LOVED seeing Gladys Knight. Other perks are people are great about helping me when stuff breaks down, there is no one around to hear me snore, nor to wake me up with their snoring, I don't have to shave my legs as much.
