Well, today another sign of middle age creeped into my life...my reading glasses arrived. They were ordered over 5 weeks (military efficiency). The doc wasn't kidding. I really was seeing everything much smaller than it really is. Not sure what the next step into middle-age is, but I'm sure I'll find out soon enough. (I already complain about not understanding current music and fashion if you're wondering).The last 2-3 days have been in the low 90s. I know that doesn't sound bad to my friends and family in the southeastern US. However, most of them haven't lived in a house and worked in an office without air conditioning in quite a while. It was also a great weekend at home with Emily and the kids. We did a little cleaning. The kids played in the pool. I tried to do a long run and discovered that I'm not acclimated to 90 F (thanks Belgium).
That's the overview of the last couple of weeks. The picture you see is from a trip the kids & I took to the zoo. It was kind of nice to send Em of to work for a change while I got to take the kids on an outing. Sadly, I think I was more excited to watch the hippo walk on the bottom of the pond and then surface.
