Evolving plans

I have been doing a lot of reading. Too much probably, but what the hell. In and around my forays into Regency England, Albania, Italy, and Egypt, I have been Scheduling Our Life. This is a remarkably time-consuming activity recently.

Take today for example.

• Chloe is due at the theater at 11.
• MJ and Chelsea need to be picked up from the beach to accompany us to the performance.
• Aaron is arriving at our house at 1 to accompany us to the performance.
• The performance is at 2 and will last about 2 hours.
• Frank needs to be at the airport by 4:30-ish.
• MJ and Chelsea need to be back to the beach by 5 or so to give the dog his evening medications.
• Aaron needs to be gotten home at a reasonable hour.
• Chloe has a cast party at 7.

The solution to this involves two trips to Seattle, one express bus, and assistance from two other sets of parents. It also involves one last session for me, passing some time in Seattle while I wait for Chloe to finish having fun.

Quite a day. And our calendar for the next few weeks resembles it.

Recent news:

• Frank is still going to New Orleans but the sailing had to be postponed due to government paperwork delays. He'll go down again later in the summer (deeper in hurricane season).
• My start date had to be postponed due to company paperwork delays and is now July 7th.
• Harper is coming for the 4th of July!
• So are the Golds!
• So is Kitty!

It should be quite a party.
