Kitten love: Maggie

I get to have a kitten!  We got her from Ann & Bob's farm, Talbot Run.  She's 9 weeks old, a tortoise calico.  Adorable!  Brian was reluctant, but I believe he's fallen in love.

Post-vacation 2010

I got to do everything on the list, and more!  Would have wished that the time with friends had been at the beach - it didn't work out.  Still, managed to see Betsy, Keith, Carolyn and Kevin for lunch; Meg and her family came for a few days during which we saw Sean and Jess.  Talked to Nora and Dana on the phone - a lot.  Wonderful beach days, hikes, bike rides, good times with Brian.

It's been a long time...

Today I got to take my final flex day from the winter/spring semester. Yes, it is July 2nd. I called Sue and we went downtown to the Folk Life Festival on the mall. Not terribly interesting, but it was fun to spend a day with her. Friends are good.

March 30 - spring break - 2010

Today I got to have the kind of day I love. Sleep in, then a long walk (almost five miles!) with Jill Coutts. Home for lunch, washing the car, working in the yard, baking, making chocolate-covered strawberries. Library, phone call with Dana, bed.

Ahhh.

March 25, 2010

Today, I get to go to Gaithersburg, then Sandy Spring, then Rockville, then home by 8:00. I get to do this, and will most likely get to continue doing this, because my position was not cut yesterday in the dismantling of OOD. Who knows what it will mean for us, being a part of human resources?

Jay

No way to look at this as "I get to." Jay Coutts took his life today.
