It strikes
Inspiration, that is. I've been waiting all day.
I just got off the phone with a lawyer in Ohio who is going to instruct his NY client to retain me to handle the winding up of a business. I heart new retainers. It won't necessarily mean a lot of money but right now, I like it a lot. See, its shiny and new and pretty. No muss, no fuss, no annoyances. Just a theoretical retention and a chance to meet new people and learn about their new problems. The ennui will come later, in its own time.
The weekend was so wonderful and wholesome. Really wholesome.
* The Girl Child insisting on going to temple. Staying for only a half an hour, maybe 45 minutes, before leaving. The Boy Child inquiring about the manque de snacks.
* Trip to the library.
* Picnic at the beach on a bluff overlooking the ocean, followed by the kids racing around a huge swath of grass.
* Trip to playground followed by dinner with my father outside overlooking the harbor.
* Sunday starting with a trip to Southport harbor to see the sailboats and walk around:
* Trip to Rye for brunch with my step-grandmother (who attended the Girl Child's graduation from Pre-School and cried the entire time).
* Long visit to Playland (warning, link brings up annoying music) to watch the kids ride and shriek with happy terror on some of the same rides I rode as a child when my grandfather used to take me there.
The whole weekend was delightful, although I seem to have finished it even more tired than when I began it!

I still love playland. I was actually thinking of taking my son this past weekend but had to work part of it instead.
