It's been busy. I am scheduled for my other knee replacement in less than six weeks; had to get a new computer when the old one died (only 3 years old!); a root canal and medical probes for just about everything above my knees (one is a colonoscopy and endoscopy at the same time - I'll be a rotisserie chicken); our daughter finally returned from selection (she passed the process but she didn't get selected - we also found out that she was actually competing against SF soldiers for "operator" status for Lord knows what or where); my oldest daughter's recent wedding anniversary (nineteen years God Bless 'em), my wedding anniversary was yesterday - 32 years ... And we still got a whole bunch of birthdays coming up in the next three weeks and the shopping process for having our bathroom remodeled.
I need something to get me out of the now. Now is a pita, now is stress and IT projects and meetings and $1.5 million in new contracts to monitor and I'm limping again.
I found it.

Teenager takes his great-grandmother to prom
Delores Dennison never went to her high school prom.
Times were tough. Money was scarce -- just enough for the necessities.
But if she had gone to the prom, Delores might have imagined wearing a lovely dress and promenading through a sea of balloons and dancing with a handsome young man on a crisp April evening. She might have imagined the band playing the Frank Sinatra song, “How I love the kisses of Delores.”
But the days of promenades have long passed for Delores, now 89-years-old. Youth and vigor have given way to heart trouble and a stroke. And the handsome young man who became the love of her life – the man who used to sing to her that Frank Sinatra song, passed away many years ago.
