Good News Weekly and From Two Weeks Ago-Part 1

Late again, late again.  I know.  This may be the last planned hump day publishing of the good news weekly.  As the days go by I have a better chance of forgetting what day it is and that I have a blog to put up.  So I think I will go back to attempting earlier more recent updates.  That is still no guarantee I will do that but that is okay.  But as for from two weeks ago I kind of had to make an unplanned trip to family in Pittsburgh and I kind of spent alot time on the road.  Either way here is the first part of or our victories of the near past.

Good News from the Week of 26 April 2014

  • Calvin had the last day of classes for the school year at the University.
  • Jen will have had only one week left till graduation.  To top if off she has two job prospects with brilliant physicians.
  • Cindy had less than a week till the all the children where all home.
  • Josie is feeling half human after being ill for the past week.  Hopefully we are at least up to three-quarters back by now.
  • Space got out of work on time for once.  I being surprised by her arrival home that night I barely repressed the urge to ask if she had been fired.
  • Timah is still loving on the teaching thing.  Even with rampant disease running through the school.  Advanced Senioritis.
  • Donna finnaly got out of work and was heading for a fun filled weekend of camping and opening day at Knoebels.
  • Noel was heading to D.C. for the Nike Women's Half Marathon.  One day I will earn my Tiffany's medal distributed by hot young guys in tuxedos.
  • Jennifer turned 40 for the first time, got a plum tree to plant and the kids are playing nicely together.  How long did that last?
  • Melissa is enjoying the last week in her third century.  
  • One week to go till Donna is beach bound.  Wait, that would have been last week.
  • Danno got her tickets to Sarah McLachan.  Awesome.  I used to use her cd for some make out music way back in the day.  Prince was always most effective though.
  • Stephanie reminds us the Meb won and she finished her last paper of the semester.
  • Christina dropped Jonathan off at Camp Leo for Leaders in Training weekend so that he can be a counselor for kids with diabetes.  Sounds like a fine young man you have there.  And you don't show how you are a proud gushing parent at all.  ;)
  • After having one hell of a fight my grandmother ended her fight and passed on 25 April with her family there with her.  I know it was painful near the end but she is at peace now.  This may not seem like good news but it really is with such a long fight and it was best for her not to continue in such misery and pain.  I will miss you very much.
  • Violet Marie Duff with a very young Rachael (the Psycho) Marie Duff
  • Patrick will finish is 19 year long world tour of teaching with his triumphant return to the University of Iowa.  Though I am not a groupie you may look in the back of that first class and seeing me their with shit eating grin on my face.  And it will be good.
  • Ethan had the first weekend of the local autocross season and he should have closed on his first house by now.
  • Melissa found the perfect tile at Habitat for Humanity at the low price of $8.
Well, I almost got this out on time but I just missed by being side tracked again.  It happens allot.  Either way thanks for all the victories and the sharing.  I will try to finish up later on Thursday.
