new comings and goings

Well, I did turn over the big 5-0. I was wowed at a surprise birthday party. 'Still watching my diet, and of course still working out. Love the job teaching "bad" kids, or, as the new "p.c." things is, "behaviorally disordered." 'Got the Master's degree. Lost a total-on a good day- of 37 pounds. Now I am shooting for 40. Especially to get ready for Key West. Will be there the week preceding Easter. So will a co-worker. Son Bill's band, Slaughter Beach, is playing at the Trocadero Theater in Philly on Sunday, February 8. Please join. Husband Bill is sitting in on bass. I am loving it. It's why I got skinny!!!!!!!!! We have tix. Saw AC/DC in November. It was great. We rocked out. Met up with son Bill's college pal, Bill, and his dad. Saw Goo Goo Dolls on New Year's Eve. They were very good, but didn't rock like Disturbed or AC/DC. Bill and I recently returned from Rehoboth Beach for a getaway weekend to celebrate our 28th wedding anniversary. Took a brief hike to Ocean City, Maryland to check out 2 bars- the Bearded Clam and the Purple Moose. Other son, Jesse, is preparing to go into the Merchant Marines. A debt of gratitude goes out to his Uncle Dean Bradford (I should say Captain Dean Bradford). Next highlight-Feb 15 Daytona Beach NASCAR race here. Complete with zeps.
