Lunch With Wife, Etc.

I was supposed to have lunch with my mother earlier in the week, but had to cancel due to a meeting with the dean about one of the students I mentioned in yesterday's posting. Today I hope to be able to meet my wife for a quiet lunch. The plan is to meet at 11:30 to "beat the crowd." It's a simple, Frendlies-kind-of-place.

The last month has been hectic, so a peaceful, quiet lunch together is what's needed.

We work hard at avoiding hectic-ness and are thankful that most of the time we can pretty much do so, even with three teens. There are times when daily life seems to generate "momentum" and it's hard to put the brakes on. So, we try to be patient and ride it out, and then are able to gain control of our time, pretty much.

Yes, we are unusual in this respect, in the context of twenty-first century American life, but... what else is new?
