Dear diary, it is over. I made it. In a Rocky-ish moment, as I picked up Mrs. WHW, I held my arms up in victory. In hindsight, I think TSA was a bit concerned when I started humming the Rocky theme while waiting for her suitcase to arrive.
Today, JWL had three more races....and qualified for a State meet in one of them. His overall performance....his first serious meet, six events, four events with times good enough to go to state. Very well done.
I would have thought he would have been ecstatic. He would have, had it not been for Potter. As of 7:00 tonight, he finished the final book; giving it a big thumbs up. Interesting how the book was so important to him. Thanks J.K. for giving books a life for a couple of my kids. I appreciate it very much. BTW...I added the final word to the title with respect to Potter 7....right, CL?
I am now preparing for bed. JLW has a 6:00 am practice, Big S has to be at work by 6:30, and I need to be at work by 7:00. The week off was hectic, but it was still a nice week at home.
Now, for a final, obscure reference.....I will close with: This has been a Quinn Martin Production (again, a connection to the last word in the title).

Yes dude, you got it right. I used the word "appendix" because I was referring to Tolkien, who put his epilogue (along with a whole lot of other stuff) in an appendix. I agree with JWL for the most part - a good book, all in all, with just a few problems. But the ending was most satisfying.
Congrats to the W family on the races and on surviving the vacation of Mrs. W. *grin* I think a chorus of "We are the Champions" is in order.
Woohoo! You made it! A little mess is ok...just to make "Mom" feel needed, but any big messes will just make her tired. Take it from a mom.
Congrats to the state qualifier! That's awesome!
Nice work. Now it will take the Mrs a week or 2 to whip them back into shape. Actually with her, about an hour ought to do it...
Congratulations to Mark Spitz Jr! Can't wait to see him in the Olympics!
WTG buddy!! I was pulling for you!!
