Message 285

Yesterday Vanessa had her laparoscopic surgery to remove her gall bladder, and other things. She had to get to the hospital at 5 AM. I helped Maureen pick her up at the hospital about 11 AM. We took her to Maureen's house and put her to bed. I then picked up Beech at school and Annie at her babysitter's. Annie was ready for a nap so I took her to Maureen, and I took Beech to the barbershop so he and I could get haircuts. After that I took Beech to Los Gatos so he could play with the girls for a bit while I visited with Susan. When we left at about 4:20 PM, Beech bragged that he was the best driver in the video game he was playing with Melanie and Caroline. I suspect Melanie let him win, but I do not know about Caroline. I got Beech back to Maureen's in time for Julian to pick him and Annie up to take them home for dinner and then to a party at Annie's school. I then got home in time to watch all my news shows and the Friday night lineup on PBS. Finally I watched the last episode of Generation Kill. It was a busy but successful day.
