The cat's pic is coming down on Saturday :(

Columbus' picture on the sidebar is coming down on Saturday, which would have been his 7th birthday had he not been hit by a car in January.

Since then, Jon has not mentioned him again. In fact, I haven't talked to Jon much since then. I do know that he's doing temp jobs somewhere in the Merrimack Valley, but that's about it. Jeff called his dad yesterday to ask him about something about bicycle repair, but Jon wasn't taking calls, so Jeff left a message to call him back. So far, Jon has not called Jeff back.

Jon better call on the 30th. It's not everyday that your kid turns 20. The next kid (Scott) won't turn 20 until May, 2011; the one after that (Marc) in December, 2013.

And I just realized again that Scott's birthday will be on Memorial Day this year. Oh, that will be something... the kid already thinks his birthday should be a holiday, and this year, it IS!

Since school ends in May here like it did in Norfolk, Scott has never had to go to school on his birthday.

Daniel surprised us this afternoon when he came home from work early. Apparently, his hours at the grocery store are being cut drastically. Budget cuts or some such crap.

So, Daniel toddles on over to the store manager to see if he could move to another department, or get a different schedule or something to get more hours. The store manager told him that it was entirely possible that he could accomodate my eldest son, because the store manager is impressed with Daniel's work ethic. Daniel takes very few sick days, and the store manager was impressed that Daniel worked a full shift back in November with a ruptured appendix (a move that Daniel now says was stupid). And except for the two weeks he took off when he had his appendectomy, Daniel has been there every day since then.

We'll see how this shakes out. After all, Daniel has a car to support!



And that's all from where I sit.
