New news.

I am sorry to report that I am very close to the finish of Bleak House. It is an excellent read, and has kept me on the edge of my seat, often updating Rufus on the most recent and astonishing happenings. I have now begun a new book, Crazy Sexy Cancer by Kris Carr with a foreword by one of my favorite guitar-playing and singing recording artists. This book is about living life to its fullest, even with an incurable, degenerative disease. In short, thriving, not just surviving; surrounding yourself with fun family and friends.
My big birthday parade plans are put on hold temporarily due to some of the participants not living in this state. However, I do have a birthday-coffee date, and then a date to the great local Indian buffet. In the evening is the much anticipated pumkin-carving party, a 3-in-1 party of which I am not free to divulge the details at this time. Suffice it to say that I received from my favorite sister a pair of pumpkin socks, and I don't care what people will think of my pumpkin sock covered feet in my sandals.
