I hope you weren't worried about me. I slept late yesterday--no time for blogging, no time for email. That was because I was out late again for the second night in a row. On Sunday, we walked the dogs, made and ate pancakes, and went to church. Vanessa came, because I told her she would like our song. It went very well and I enjoyed singing "One Breath" with the choir. I was home just long enough to eat some lunch (delicious pea soup from the freezer) and relax for a bit before heading to the Classic Center, where I gave the sound cues to Peter for the Dancing with the Athens Stars. Also the video cues to Mary and the lighting cues as well. It was really fun, but quite challenging. I slipped out at 5 during the union break and grabbed dinner with the family next door. I called and told them what to order for me and had time to walk there and eat and drink and walk back by 6. The show went very well. They raised $93,000 for Project Safe, the battered women's shelter--net! That is an awesome fund-raiser. Meredith and I will have to come up with some equally awesome annual event for the Shelter.

Weather-wise, the day was drizzly and gray--a good day to have something to do. My parents really loved the show.

Yesterday, back to work. Meredith and I are still working really well together. It's a pleasure to go to work. Now I am starting the DCA grant, which I will write a draft of and pass along to her. They have changed it a bit this year and are asking hard questions: What percent of your clients achieve permanent housing? First off, we don't really know, because they don't always tell us. And secondly, I don't think it's very high. We'll see what we can come up with. The grant is due April 4.

In the afternoon, Ray and I met with a financial advisor to try to talk about retirement planning. He was a real wheeler-dealer and my Dad had warned us against him. He had lots of ideas, but I didn't like him at all. I made supper and started work on the chicken casserole I am going to freeze for this weekend.

Watched some TV and went to bed.
