WELL, AFTER 2 DAYS, THE GRANDKIDS ARE GONE. AND I'M EXHAUSTED.

I DID GO TO WATER THERAPY THIS MORNING TO ESCAPE THE TURMOIL. ANYHOW, ONE OF MY CLOSEST FRIENDS IN THE CLASS AND HIS WIFE ARE MOVING AWAY AT THE END OF THE MONTH. LAST WEEK, ONE OF THE GALS IN THE CLASS (JEAN) ASKED IF LARRY AND HIS WIFE, MY WIFE AND I, AND SHE AND HER HUSBAND COULD GO OUT TO DINNER BEFORE THEY LEFT. WE SAID SURE, BUT JEAN HAD TO CHECK HER CALENDAR.

WELL TODAY WE GOT A LIST OF HER COMMITMENTS FOR THE NEXT TWO WEEKS. SO LARRY, HIS WIFE, MY WIFE AND I ARE GOING OUT. I REMEMBER WHEN GALS USED A CALENDAR TO KEEP TRACK OF BOY FRIENDS AND PERIODS. AFTER MENOPAUSE, IS IT NECESSARY TO BOOK EVERY NIGHT?

I LOVE SOME SCHEDULES, BUT A LITTLE SPONTENAETY AIN'T BAD.
