Toughen Up

I have wimped around for about two weeks. I have reasons, but it is time for it to stop.

There is much to be joyful about. After all, we have about six inches of beautiful snow on the ground. It will all melt off by the beginning of a new week, and things will get better weather-wise.

MacKay's fiancee Stephanie is a wonderful prospective addition to the family, and I am happy for the youngsters. No date for a wedding has been set, but I expect them to make final plans in the coming days. Congratulations, my son, and best wishes for a long and happy life.

Elliott is happy, too, for his brother. Children should have siblings. It is important for them to have a close family member during life's exciting times. I am pleased with my younger son's maturity and good spirits. He is an example for me to follow, and I welcome his leadership.

Finally, although I don't understand many things, life is moving on. It is time. I have much to do.

By the way, a doctor acquaintance of mine observed that I might even live to be 100! How about that. See you all in 2052!
