Just Visiting

Tomorrow is St. Patrick’s Day. This year I have seen fewer advertisements by various beers and liquors then I did last year. There is less of a push to get drunk which I think is a good thing. The Metrolines into and out of New York have declared tomorrow an alcohol free-zone. You can’t bring any onto the trains. Penn Station will have no beer sales either. Maybe they are hoping that people will sober up on the train ride home before they get into their cars.

My parents are returning to Atlanta today. It was a nice visit even though it felt a bit short. I do have to agree with my mother that it is better to leave wanting then overstay. I took them to one of the local Italian restaurants for dinner last night that we really like. Because of various factors including Ariel’s rehearsal, it was just me and my parents which we haven’t done in a while. I caught up on family news. It was a nice time.

I need to get started on the next cleaning project today so I am not going crazy by Friday. Then I have a doll to finish and another doll to cloth. After that a Puppet and a mask I think. Then Shoreleave. This subject to change if I get a full time job.

I am grateful for family visits.
