rebeccmeisterBeing done with labs means that this weekend I only had to work one out of two days, to make progress on grading assignments. I'm almost caught up, amazingly.
Instead, on Saturday, I worked on an Open House at the boathouse. We didn't get huge numbers of people showing up, but everyone who did show up was super excited to learn about rowing, and hey, those are the people we want. It was also just good to get to hang out.
Then I got to go on a dinner date withscrottie for his birthday, over to a local brewpub called the Pump House. He admired the architecture, as the building was indeed a pump house at one point in time. The beer and food were good, if pricey.
So I'm actually feeling like I'm starting to have some bandwidth for dreaming of other things. We might manage to go and visit my aunt and uncle in Connecticut in May, and have some camping and hiking ambitions. It's about time.
Regarding my aunt and uncle: my aunt is now also dealing with cancer, so I had a conversation today with my cousin (her daughter) about some of the many things I've learned about over the course of my dad's cancer experience. While my aunt has a different form of cancer, she's headed for chemotherapy in short order. So that's a lot to deal with.
I still want to write a more extended version of my dad's story over the last years and months of his life sometime soon. Not just yet, but soon.
