The estimates for the heat pump have come in and they aren’t as bad as I feared. They are by no means a walk in the park but they aren’t going to bankrupt me.

This evening is Pizza Night at DeLorenzo’s. Lisa came home from work early but she decided she wouldn’t join us at DeLorenzo’s. She rarely does. As usual, it will be me and the parental units. I ate very little today in preparation for tonight’s feast. I had some coffee, a tiny bit of leftover Chinese food, couple of triscuits, and one bonbon. I think that gives me enough leeway to eat like a pig. What really helped me control my hunger is the pain in my jaw. Chewing is not easy. If this continues, I am going to become an honorary member of the Thurston Howell appreciation society.

Tomorrow John Beck is coming to town. We’re going to a bar that is having a Maker’s Mark party or something. On Saturday, we will see a play. I am praying that it’s Bye Bye Birdie but knowing John it’s going to be some weird hippie play about gay cowboys eating pudding. It’s going to be strange seeing so much of John Beck. I hope I don’t tire of him. 🙂
