Random burblings...

So, a lot of nothing has been happening since I last wrote. OK, not so much nothing, as not much to write about. In more or less chronological order:

• I had a birthday, and a birthday 'party'. Which is to say that my mum came out on Labor Day for the family traditional Labor Day picnic, and she brought a berry pie for a cake.


• The kids went back to school. SR has stuff going on before school three days a week until the end of football season. (Once football season ends, she's down to one day a week early.)


• I ordered a new car, to replace the van for everyday driving. I can't drive the Taurus very much -- it makes my back hurt, and I really don't want to see either of my back docs again for a while (if ever). I was originally looking at a Focus (yes, the trunk is big enough for the bari sax), but the option pack we wanted wasn't going to be available until December, so I upgraded to a Fusion. If I'd wanted one with an automatic, I could have bought one off the lot, but I wanted a stick, so it had to be ordered. Should be in sometime in late October.
