I think Im going to live. It seems I am past the explosive sneezes that drove Jake to nap in another room and my nose no longer drips like a leaky faucet. I still have some scratchy throat issues but compared to a couple days ago I am great. I told Tracey she cant go on anymore trips because I didnt get real bad until she left me so it must have been withdrawal symptoms from her leaving.
Alan, Gloria, DD, Mom, Tracey and I went to the Cracker Barrel to dine last evening. The waitress tried to put me into a sugar coma by sneaking some sweet tea into my regular tea glass ... otherwise the food and service wasnt too bad. It has actually been so long since I have tasted real sugar I had to ask Tracey to confirm that my tea tasted different because it was sugar. Its a good thing I never liked sweet tea or I might have been tempted to drink it anyway!
I cant say too much without letting the cat out of the bag (now where does THAT come from and how did the cat get into the bag?) but Noah has been working hard to surprise his girlfriend Denise with some nice anniversary presents. It will soon be one year since they got together and he will be in Hawaii on the actual date. So he has been conspiring all manner of ideas to celebrate the day for her in his absence. I think the boy is in love!
HAWAII??!! How is he so lucky?? I have a relative that lives in Oahu. If I could scrape up airfare, I know I could stay for free, but thats an awfully long time in the air....in a small seat....with no fresh air.....nothing to look at.....maybe hes not so lucky?!?!! I hope the young couple enjoy their day!

He is going with a group of karate instructors. He has been saving up for months to go and I dont think he has really thought about how long he will be on the plane but how long he will be on sandy beaches. Denise wont be going with him so I suspect that is behind all the special day preparations.
