Somethings always wrong I guess. But it was a good retreat over all.
I arrived early. 2PM. The caretaker has an ancient computer chugging along with Windows 95…..probably needs Windows 3.1 back on it. Now I know why this computer was given away. Trashing a bunch of programs didn’t clear up its half gig hard drive. Another newer, yet broken computer is available. I’ve brought it home with me in hopes that my brother-in-law can lay hands on it for healing. Apparently the hard drive isn’t recognizable.
Friday night I had a decision to make. Either I could stay grumpy the entire weekend or I could have a good time. After my Scottsville friends arrived it wasn’t hard to decide to have a good time. Jess, Rachel, and Tabitha were there. Smiling faces. Mingling.
Anyways the green t-shirts are the best. Its the type of green that is my favorite color. Somewhere between yellow and green, but more green than yellow. Slimer color.
Afterwards I went to Allen County’s band concert today. The kids requested my presence. It was good. I had no idea Jessica was so talented. She received alot of awards for her dedication to band. She’ll go far these days.
Still, it was kinda strange to be in the same high school auditorium which only a few years back had hosted the funeral for Elizabeth. Her presence wasn’t lost either. The band played songs written by a cancer patient. They gave out the Elizabeth Stone award to a band student.
I’m pretty tired. I’ll write more later on, pending any empty threats.
