This blog entry will be bits and pieces of follow-up information. 
After a slow start this morning and on through the afternoon, I began feeling much better. Although I don’t feel great, I haven’t felt this good in a month or so.
On our way back from Illinois, we stopped in to see our older daughter. After driving all night, we got to see her be commissioned as a Lieutenant (junior grade) in the U.S. Navy. She’s now up at Officer Development School in Rhode Island. Speaking of which… we’ve not heard from her since she arrived there!! I think they’ll let her phone home in a week or so. Meanwhile, I write her a snail-mail letter every day.
We also made it back home from Illinois in time for our youngest daughter to make it to her Band Banquet. Parents aren’t allowed to attend and I was glad; Eileen and I were both very tired. Anyway, our youngest tried out for Drum Major but didn’t get it. She was named a Section Leader however. She was very happy with that result.
A so-called friend called me to tell me that he saw completely through my statement a few days ago that I was just joking when I said that I wanted Eileen to heal properly so I didn’t have to wait on her hand and foot for another month. Okay, let me put it this way: I don’t want Eileen to be so ill that I have to wait on her hand and foot!! Does that sound any better?!
Finally, we made it to the weekend without my “manuscript” being rejected by the publisher. They probably haven’t had too many daily blogs try to be passed off as a manuscript. Rather than think that the editors haven’t gotten to it yet, I’ll presume that an editor likes it and is reading it word for word. Well, that’s the way I’ll think until and unless I hear otherwise!!
