The walls are painted.
The stomachs are filled with seafood.
The movie is playing and it is time to say so-long to 2008.  What a year it was for us.

This morning, in the bright light of daytime, I realized that the hallwall trimwork looks dingy.  Yellowish instead of nice, bright white like the foyer or family room trimwork.

We had our visit to the Neuro-ophthalmic Dr today.  First we met with this very nice intern who insisted talking with Mark — it was cute and I do like it when the Dr is asking the kid the questions.  After all it is his eyes and he knows what he is […]
