It's weekend on the first leg of my July-August journey; I'm at Emory now teaching UM Discipline and Polity, then it's back in Columbia for District Set-up Meeting, Cabinet Retreat and through the end of August in Africa. Cindy's coming down tonight and hopefully we'll eat well and check out some movies. I eat okay when I'm by myself, but when she's around my vegetable count goes way up. She's great and keeps me straight.
We will be married 35 years this December 20 and yesterday I booked our anniversary excursion. She wants to go to New York City at Christmas, see the sights and shows. So, anyway, we're booked for a midtown hotel, and will see "In the Heights," "The Rockettes' Christmas Show," and, hopefully, "The Nutcracker," but those tickets don't go on sale until September. It will be fun. I'm looking forward to window-shopping and the Rockefeller Plaza Christmas Tree. It will all be gravy after that - 3 nights in the Big Apple with the Apple of My Eye.
We learned a long time ago that we had to go on dates at least once a week, nothing too fancy, just quality time without the kiddo's, just the two of us. To all of you folks out there - keep the home fires burning by stoking the fire. It takes work and prioritizing, but there aren't any shortcuts to lasting love. I'm no specialist in things of the heart, and I've made a lot of stupid mistakes, but I've tried to learn from them. So, I'm not sure where we will go tonight. I've got some options, movie times and restaurant list nearby - Athens Pizza will suit us both, go see "Salt" or "Sorcerer's Apprentice," or something between action, comedy, and love story. Well, that's the plan. We'll see. Hope you and yours have a great weekend.
