Getting Caught up
The Christmas tree is up but that is all, except for a door decoration outside the front door. Christmas always comes with mixed feelings, and this year is no exception. Our son is being interviewed for a new excecutive position today in Rhode Island, our daughter is contemplating divorce, and we are wondering about our own future, considering a move to Vermont next summer. Christmas is always a lot of fun, but we will have to share it with only half our grandchildren, and we will h ave to travel to Detroit and Illinois to visit siblings. Weather is always a factor in this, too. Today it is cold!So Rumsfeld is out and Gates is in. The NY Times is pleased with all that, so we are too. The war is awful, of course, and there are no easy answers to the mess we have brought on ourselves, let alone on the Iraquis. Christmas will be no fun over there, that's for sure.
My students won their way into the finals of speech night, but did not win the ultimate prize. Good for them.
