Turn the Corner

Today is the first day of Spring. It really feels funny because temperatures have been in the high 70’s for a week. This Thursday I get my snow tires removed from car. I know. I know. I am tempting fate.
Yesterday would have been my Mother’s 90th birthday (a totally possible birthday she could have reached if she had taken better care of herself). Nana almost made her 99th.
I understand my favorite Son-in-Law undergoes surgery on Friday. I only know that it concerns a growth on one kidney. There is always a fear of the unknown. Here is hoping that the “robotic surgery” goes well and that the prognosis is positive. I do know that our bodies only need one kidney to function normally. My hopes and prayers go out to Tom.
Having been in business for a few years, I know that marketing departments all over the world are clevely designing products, services and advertising programs. They want more of your money. Your Mom and I get season tickets to the local Performing Arts Center (PAC). It has been a package of 5 broadway shows that take place over a one year period. Someone in the PAC marketing department found a clever way to squeeze more money out of patrons. The broadway play “The Lion King” is a spectacular. Lots of animals are designed for the stage and kids love it. The ticket offering this year is again for 5 shows but they do NOT include The Lion King. They do have a 6 show alternative that includes the Lion King at an additional cost of about $180. So the dilemma is “do we take the bigger package icluding the “King” or stay with the standard 5 show package. Dah! You know the answer!
Donald Driver looked great on “Dancing with the Stars” show. He didn’t get the scores that he deserved. He is flexible, charismatic and he can move! Tune in! He is fun to watch.
Windows are open. The sun is shining. Enjoy the day.
Love,
Dad
