So it's been awhile.   I could say I was sick, but that was only last week.  

 Here's what's happening tonight.  I just got home from having dinner at Devon's, a new seafood restaurant at Chicago and Wabash,  paid for by 2 pharmaceutical companies.  It was especially nice because it was just the nurses at our office and we didn't have to listen to a long "educational" spiel about cholesterol.  We could just eat - lobster bisque, grilled tilapia, asparagus, mashed potatoes and fresh fruit. It was lovely.  

Dylan and Zachary were invited to a White Sox games in one of the boxes behind home plate by their youth group leader.  Last I heard it was tied in the 8th. 

Tobin was a good father and drove Dylan to the game after play practice so he wouldn't have to miss either one.  "Dylan is playing 2 roles in A MidSummer Nights Dream.  Neither role has any lines but he is on stage a lot.  He plays attendant to the king and attendant to the fairy king.  Performances are June 5,6 and 7 if anyone is interested."

We've been stimulating the economy lately in our moving preparation. Tobin has rented an apartment in Missoula for next year. It's in the basement of a house and has red carpeting. He's bought a new bike.  We all have new phones because we had to switch our coverage to Verizon. (all the same numbers, though).  Dylan's retainer broke and has to be replaced. Tobin's pen scanner broke which makes him heartbroken.  Does it need to be replaced?  Zach and I haven't been spending any money at all.   

I've been trying to make pots in my beginners pottery class but that's not going very well.  The wheel is a lot more difficult than it looks.  The first 2 I tried just completely collapsed.  The next 2 are short and have lopsided walls.  I'll start again in 2 weeks.  

Zachary tried out for the orchestra/band for the falls Yamo production at the high-school.  This as a show that is student written, directed and performed.  He thinks he did ok after some initial jitters.  And he nailed the joke telling portion of the tryout.  

Dylan is trying out for the acting troupe tomorrow.

Enough from me. I'll get the others to write something soon.
