Random thoughts:

- George woke me this morning at 5 a.m. declaring a need to spend the $100 check his grandmother sent him for his birthday three months ago. Does he not know that this season’s snow boots and hats (all of which he has lost) were purchased with said money?
- The gigantic t.v. in the family room is officially five years old. It was Rich’s 40th birthday present and he is now, well, you can do the math.

- My father had a way of convincing each of us (my brothers and I) that we were his favorite, but I know I really was. For sure.

- Anyone who says they have never seen me with makeup on is wrong. They have never seen me without makeup on. (I don’t wear a lot, but that which I do is very important)
