I should have been expecting them, since I did confirm the appointment, but I then proceeded NOT to write it down on a calendar or even put it in my Google-calendar so when Kathy called me to say there were people here to see me, I was completely flummoxed ( Read more... )

Not for my 50th birthday as once hoped, but at least this year and presumably while I still have adequate funds to pay for it, or at least manage the credit card debt we will incur. After three years we finally got the BIG BILL we ran up on the London/Scotland trip of 2011. This one won't be nearly so massive, but it's not exactly borscht either.
