March

went in like a lamb and is going out like a lion.  Everything is not as it seems.

 

Including this letter.  I remember when Pop used to get the Alumni Weekly each week.  Then it went to every other week.  Now it is whenver the heck they feel like it.  So it is with Pop's Weekly Letter.

 

But, not for lack of news!  Most important, baseball season starts next week.  I told Mary it was time to purchase satellite radio.

 

Work is, well work.  I miss retirement.  David is rapidly approaching that wonderful moment.

 

And Joe came down for his spring break, looking for work.  He interviewed with a bunch of federal government agencies, as part of his fellowship program.  He should hear soon, and then begins the securiity process again.  Margaret too is in job market.  Margaret moved into her new apartment and is walking 3 miles a day to work.  She looks great. 

 

We actually held to our Lenten fast of no desserts, and Mary has lost weight, along with her exercise program of 10,000 steps a day.  She is on spring break now, and will drive up north on Monday.  I plan on going to Boston on Wednesday evening and we'll spend the night with Joe before heading to Pittsfield for Easter.

 

It looks as if things are falling into place for July 28, thanks to David and Paula's organization!   Thanks.

 

We spoke with Annie on Saturday and she was getting ready to go to work.  Why?  Curious custom, when they have a holiday during the week, they have to go to work on the weekend.  Anyway, she will be going to western China for a quick visit during their holiday next week.

 

Mary and I have been getting in to live streaming for our infrequent television watching.  We just finished both seasons of Downton Abbey, and we're catching up on a show we watched every now and then called Friday Night Lights, about high school football in Texas.  Both are kind of soap operas.

 

Tonight though, we'll be watching the NCAA basketball games, and Mary is still in the lead in her bracket at school.

 

Speaking of gambling, did anyone buy a MegaBall ticket?  Did anyone win, and decide not to tell the rest of us?

 

We hope to see Peter in a few hours, and hope he's driving their new Saturn.  We spoke with Andrew, and they have been on some college tours with Claire.  We hear she likes Wooster.  Doesn't everyone?

 

Go Buckeyes!  Have a great two weeks!  Love from down here.
