Nothing happened today; so, until next
time...
...Live long and prosper, fellow Magi of
the Light!

Okay, that was fun for a change; but my day was
slightly more eventful than that – if not by much. Yes, it was a work day, but we managed to
have a bit of fun here and there too; and it’s been another hot, amazing summer
weather day too. That was good for Tai
Chi this morning; breakfast on the back porch; and a little swim in the river
time for Ethan, Ehlana, and me before they went to the lab with Mom for the
morning and I got to work in the office – along with doing some laundry and
house work with Alicia.
Mom brought a small gang home with her for
lunch, and Alicia and I did most of the work getting the food ready for
that. The twins and I had that meal out
on the dock while the adults and college teens hung out around the back
porch. When Mom went back to work at the
lab, I kept Ethan and Ehlana with me and we went for a bike ride to the
park. Michael met up with us there for
his afternoon break, but Rowen and Tim were doing their own things today – and that’s
plural because they weren’t doing that together.
I know, it’s shocking; but even us ‘town
kid’ couples have to spend some time apart now and then due to other
commitments.
While we were with Michael, we biked the
main trail once; ran around at the playground; went for a swim; and then ended
that time with a ice cream run to the Emporium.
We ate those ice creams while sitting by the river behind the Inn, and
then Michael went back to work while Ethan, Ehlana, and I went home and hung
out in the back yard until dinnertime.
It was a quick and easy meal night; I was back at the park to help out
with kid control during the co-ed baseball practice; and then Mom and Dad took
us home and opted for another quiet night there instead of some pub fun with
their friends. Mom did a Magi lesson
with the twins and me; I took care of getting them off to bed; and then I came
straight up to my room after that.
Michael and I decided not to get together
after he was finished work tonight; mostly because he had some things to do
too; and we both wanted to get a good night of rest ahead of our weekly camping
night. Yes, we do seem to have had too
much of the responsibility ethic rubbing off on us from our parents, but that
isn’t likely going to change for us; so we’ll just deal with it. We don’t exactly have anything to complain
about – though I suppose that some kids and teens would disagree with that when
it comes to the work side of Michael’s life.
I only had the basic nightly computer
checks left to do by the time I was tucked into bed with Mandy, so that didn’t
take long to get finished; and there isn’t any major email news to report from
around the family. Christina did send me
a mid-week update, and it sounds as though Jenny’s having fun hanging out with
Jonathan and meeting all of his buddies, but Jenny’s apparently too busy to
send any email of her own – though I haven’t checked with Rebecca to see if she
heard any news from Jenny today. She may
be too busy now, but I’m sure that we’ll hear all about the trip when she gets
back on Sunday – especially if she’s home in time to help out with the Sunday
buffets.
That’s all I have for now, and while this
wasn’t a very exciting day full of amazing adventure, I did have fun with Ethan
and Ehlana; and with the rest of my family and Michael when we were together
too; so I’m a happy camper. With the
extra sleep, I’ll be an even happier camper tomorrow night; so I’m going to get
to that right now.
Live long and... oh wait, I already did
that. Now how am I supposed to end this?
This is the archive that never ends; yes it
goes on and on my friends; some Magi started writing it not knowing what it was;
and now we’re stuck with eons worth of useless facts because...
...This is the archive that never ends...
If I’m still around when you read this in
the future, and can’t get that song out of your head; please don’t yell at me –
it seems funny to me right now.
Yeah, you’re probably right – I’ll get some
sleep now and see if my sense of humor can recover with a bit of rest.
