Sorry I don't really keep this up much anymore...but here goes, short but sweet:

I'm really going to try to lose weight and I'm back on Jenny Craig. I'm fatter now than ever in my life, ever since my thyroid gave up. I'm on the meds now but the weight I gained when I wasn't is what I have to lose.

Steve and I went to Taste of Blue Ash and had some tasty food (mine was a salad...I was being good) and drinks on Friday night to see a free concert by 3 Dog Night. We liked it so much we went back the next night to see Kansas. The Commodores were playing Sunday but we didn't go- would have liked to- but we had other stuff to do (Steve repainting part of my car). Anyway those are 3 bands that have been around, 30, 40 years? and they don't disappoint. TDN has been around 40 years. That's some mileage. And still sound as good as when I was 10. I have always liked Kansas and John Elefanti wrote some good stuff both for Kansas and on his own.

Things seem good here at work, and this weekend we are going to Chuck and Ellen's 50th anniversary. Micah and Steve are refinishing Steve's historic car. Micah will be starting at Scarlet Oaks in a few days, majoring in auto repair. Nathanael is going back to Grinnell (cry cry, off he goes again) to live in the ecohouse. He's majoring in anthro, minoring in linguistics.
