May 2015

My elder daughter is slaving away in NYC, the rest of us were all 3 at a 65th birthday party for my wife's cousin in Frankfurt on Sunday. Now, 48 hours later, I was in Brussels today, my younger daughter is on her way up to London for work, and my wife braved the impending German train strike to get up to her mom's place because her mom is having an eye operation tomorrow to try to save her eyesight. My wife's broken wrist is not healing properly, so she only really has one hand to use for now. I have to be in Holland tomorrow, France on Thursday and have no earthly idea how I'm going to manage it if the strike persists.

Other than all that, everything is peachy keen!

And yourself?
