The first quarter of 2013 is now in the books. I’ve
had over 100 appointments, conducted 52 annual reviews, completed 29 separate transactions,
and ended the quarter with a barrage of business that made all the numbers look
nice. On the home front, we’ve entertained thirty supremely talented singers
from Belmont for a weekend, completely overhauled the upstairs of our house,
suffered the loss of Matthew Crawley, and banished Molly to the uncarpeted
rooms of the downstairs at night to deal with her rare but disgusting bouts of
incontinence.
I have enjoyed my wife’s amazing cooking every night
as we watch Frazier reruns, DVR episodes of Person of Interest, Nashville, Parenthood,
and Pioneer Woman. I have looked on with proud fascination as my daughter writes
her Master thesis at Wake Forest; I’ve listened to the incredibly beautiful
music that my son has composed at Westminster. I’ve watched two friends endure
extreme personal trials with grace and dignity, one which ended poorly, one
which ended with deliverance. My Dad spent three weeks in the hospital and
recovered stronger than before. It gave me the chance to spend twenty nights
with him and listen to more great stories and if possible have my opinion of
him become even more worshipful.
A Super Bowl was played and I can hardly remember
who won. Our political leaders have spent most of their time warning us of
coming disasters that never seem to come. President Obama seems always to be
either leaving for a vacation, on vacation, or returning from vacation, which I’m
totally fine with. Matter of fact, I think all of them should go on even more
vacations, since they will be much less likely to do us harm from the slopes in
Vail.
This blog continues to accumulate more readers; I’m
halfway through a novel I started writing in January, and I was able to survive
a recent attempt at offering an opinion on the subject of gay marriage, all in
all, an eventful three months.
Now, we will have Pam’s family over for Easter
Sunday complete with an egg hunt for the kids. Then Pam and I have planned a
little 4 day escape to catch our breath in Myrtle Beach.
Life could be a whole lot worse.
