Weekly Update

Hello friends. It's Friday and it's been awhile since I've posted. Got a little extra time, so I thought I'd bring you up to speed on my shenanigans. First off, shout out to Aunt Meggy, sis to Suburban Warrior. She had her fourth yesterday, and you can read more about it here. Hooray!

And speaking of babies, my brother's wife's fourth ultrasound was FINALLY conclusive as far as determining gender. A boy! That makes six grandsons for mis padres. iDios mio! I'm a bit disappointed as they had contemplated naming a girl after me. Oh, well. We certainly love boys around here, so the little cowboy should integrate quite nicely.

On the nightstand (beside the KY-Jelly...) Nora Ephron's "I Feel Bad About My Neck." Finished it in an afternoon. She's not as funny as I thought, but it did keep me interested. On deck: "Peony" by Pearl Buck.

And I'm very sad to relate that my foolish flabby ass has been roped in (yet again) to taking over another PTA-sponsored activity at the elementary school. This time that of chess club coordinator. I proposed making it a Boggle/Chess Club, but was voted down. But for lack of anyone else to coordinate it, Irene will be busy w/pawns and rooks and the like from now until the beginning of May. Last year there was talk that the chess club was "too competitive"--keeping score and what not. At the first meeting, I plan to divide the kids into two groups: winners and losers.
