Hi,
The month of November is whizzing by. I have no idea what I have been busy with but the last two weeks seem to have disappeared and the next two are definitely action packed.
Tomorrow we are hosting a wine tasting party for friends & neighbours. My swimming buddy, Brian Sweeney, is a wine wholesaler and expert of the grape. He's bringing 6 different wines and offering tastings and discussion on the product. We have about 30 people interested in attending. Everyone is throwing in $10 to cover the costs of the wine and bringing something for 'pot luck' food/munchies. I've made chocolates, focaccia and hummus.... things that I think go well with drinking. I'm hoping it a success. It would be fun to do as an annual 'fall' party. I'll let you know how it goes.
Monday Marshall & I are travelling to Merida, Mexico. Not vacation time: we're meeting up with my parents because me mom is having a medical procedure done down there and we felt that they may need help. Long story. We will be back on Friday. Hopefully nothing will go awry and we'll get to enjoy some real Mexican cuisine.
Next Saturday I'm teaching at Princeton.... not the university but at a dance venue. I volunteered to lead a salsa class. My first foray into teaching dance in New Jersey. They usually get a nice crowd out for these events. I hope they are kind to me. My friend and dance-pal Carmen is offering to be my dance-dummy. I will take her up on this offer since she is petit enough for me to lead and not look too dorky with.
On the 23rd I spend the day at UPenn Hospital for my next big check up. Since I can't study for these tests I just go in and do my very best. Hopefully they will find nothing of interest and I will be good to go for another 9 months, or even a year if they let me. No news is good news in this scenario. Fingers crossed.
Madison is coming up for Thanksgiving on from the24th-28th. Dinner with Marshall's family on the 25th up in northern N.J. and we're at the end of the month......wow, was that fast or what?
I think someone shortened the month. Actually, I think they have shortened the whole year. I can't remember December coming around so quickly in the past and that means 2010 is over. I'm just getting the correct year written on my cheques and it's already a new number in 6 weeks. Crap! Time to start practicing writing"2011".
Short..... I also seem to have shrunk almost an inch in the last 2 years. The years are getting shorter and so am I. Totally depressing on both counts.
