1. Frank and Bob are enjoying themselves, they're safe, and their worst mishap thus far has been an encounter with a lobster pot. And the weather map is clear of tropical storms!!
2. I have my own office!
3. I have a new work computer and it's FAST.
4. I've been going to the health club, loving every minute I'm there, and enjoying an exercise high for hours afterward.
5. My asthma is nonexistent.
6. We are deep in trip planning and have decided to splurge on three nights in a Dublin B&B, less than a block from O'Connell Street. Virtually everything we want to see in Dublin is within walking distance. We've also reserved B&Bs in Counties Clare and Mayo, one night each, so we can swing past the Cliffs of Moher and the old McManaman sod (Achill Island) on the tail end of our trip. The rest of our time, we'll be based out of this cottage in County Wexford.
7. I get to see Chiara in less than a month!!!!!!!!!!!
(We are doing less Italian planning than Irish, because we're leaving ourselves in the capable hands of the Baldi. They are borrowing an RV from friends and plan to take us around. Chiara is beach crazy, so I'm sure a few southern beaches are on our itinerary. Other than that, we'll be doing the Trentino region, staying at Lake Garda. And we have definite plans to visit Venice.)
8. I read some good public-speaking advice and am feeling much more relaxed about my talks at Live and Learn next month.
9. I got my first paycheck (just in the nick of time).
10. Chloe and MJ are thriving despite their current lack of parenting. (Hmm...)
11. It's sunny and warm!
12. I have seventeen senses! (just a little inside joke)
13. I actually had an idea for a Thursday 13 this week!
(knock on wood)

When I became an instructor, I decided the students already thought I was a fool, so why worry about it. Talk to them as individuals, not a group. Does any of this help? The good thing is that you are speaking on a subject of which you are passionate.
