Start with the highlight. Last night Marietta, Parker and myself watched episodes 10,11,12 and 13. They were really good, I wish the show was still on at this point. Both kids like the show and since there are only 28 total episodes I am guessing we will finish watching it next week at the rate we are watching it.
So on with a review of the last 24 hours.
First, I read a really great article from Vanity Fair about debt.

Second, we were told we are getting a cold front on Thursday? High of 67 and low of 64. That is such great too, but it appears on Halloween it will be 85. Got to love Texas in the Fall.
Third. My lovely daughter. After convincing us that she had no homework we watched episode 13 of Jericho. Once we watched that I told them both it was time to go to bed. My lovely daughter told me, "Can we go over my US Map". I said "What!!!, you just said you had no homework". "Just a quick of review". So we did, little to my surprise she did not know any of the material. It was insane. So we spent the next 1 1/4 studying the geographically features of the U.S., the major bodies of water, rivers, and major cities. While I am not sure about Anchorage being a major city it was on the list.
Fourth. It appears that November 2nd will be the company quarterly meeting. I am looking forward to this one. For the first time in over 2 years I feel engaged in the company and what is going on. My dad and mom deaths hit me harder than I thought, adding in Parkers Cystic Fibrosis diagnosis, it really was a wonder I did anything other than my job. Travis was not a good personal fit from the get go, add the fact that he is selfish and self-absorbed and my personal life really did not help!
Five. Treatments. Parker did great on Monday night. As bad as Monday morning had been is how much better Monday night's treatments. He was a champ and did not really whine or complain. The funny aspect of Monday morning was the built in anger and stubborn nature were so easy for me to know and predict. I know him only too well. It is very scary when you see your own nature so mirrored in another. I knew the motivation, the anger and exactly how he was reacting and where he was going. What points he wanted to make and why. Of course that allowed me to cut him off from letting him "paint himself into a corner". This is our new term for when Parker has made himself so angry that he has no options left to save face or get out of the situation, most likely of his own making.
Six. Susan. God knows I love her. She had Bunco last night. She was the co-hostess, and thankfully got to have it held at another house!!! I wish I made more money to have a nicer house, but I also wish she was a bit more frugal. I also wish she would quit smoking. She is still sneaking cigarette's and I am assuming she knows I know, but really do wish she would stop.
Well, that is "My life so far"
