what? you need a list from me?

1. Jack is scheduled for thumb ligament reattachment surgery on Monday. Then five weeks in a cast.
2. The drummer accepted a job offer as the bass drumline tech for the Madison Scouts, a drum corps in Drum Corps International, and was so excited to learn he'd be working with his hero of the drum world, the guy who runs the drum program at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, the school he wants to attend after he graduates from the U, that he couldn't sleep. I think he would have paid to work there, but instead they will cover the cost of flying him to Wisconsin once a month between now and next May when they head out on the road, riding the buses, sleeping in the gyms, performing all over the midwest and south and east coast.
3. Jessie and family are visiting New Hampshire while she grows sweet girlie number three. She is in that part of pregnancy when the morning sickness ceases, you can feel the amazing movements of the life within, and you are still comfortable moving about.
4. Stu's last blood tests were all normal. NORMAL. normal.
5. As much as Jr likes to complain about the drama that is his life, he seems very content, attending the U, working at the credit union for pay, learning new skills and using new tools while working on the basement remodel.
