Busy, Busy, Busy

It’s CabinBoytheYounger’s 17th birthday today. I also had the sad news yesterday that my 101 year-old grandmother passed away. She was born during President Taft’s administration. We once visited the Constitution Center in Philadelphia together and I asked her who should thought the best president had been during her lifetime. She said it was Dwight D. Eisenhower. I was surprised because she wasn’t a Republican as far as I knew. But I had to respect her opinion. She had seen a lot of presidents and most of them had been crap. She was one of the finest people I’ve ever met and I’ll miss her.

I’ve been running around this morning wrapping birthday gifts and making plane reservations. We also have a problem with our electric fence to figure out. So, I haven’t had much time to spend on the intertubz.

I have a conference call and a doctor’s appointment this afternoon, and then a birthday dinner to attend, so light blogging looks to be in my future.

What are y’all doing this weekend?
