CATCHING UP

I am trying to catch up on things. . . some odds and ends . . . 

GARY. . .into the 'ethers' I went, searching out what might have been erroneously dust-binned but I didn't find anything from you. . overlooked.

Sorry about that. . .I am busy these days, more than usual it seems. . .lol  At school things are winding down at a rapid pace. . with more work hours needed than usual. .Guys n' Gals  are in the throes of pre-finals. . .peeps will soon graduate, and with the rest pack up and move home for the summer. . .the majority coming back toward the end of August. . .  

But now, for Adjunct Professor Justin O'Shea, and Doctoral Candidate O'Shea, and Intern-Therapist Justin, he finds hinself thinking and even sometimes saying aloud with an attempt at a slight French accent a sometime familiar phrase of Mme Bouvier, my dauntless grandmother ( lest you forget, hahahaaa) "Mister Man, I am soooo bizzy. . .I meet myself coming and going. . . " and actually enjoying much of it, most of the time.

Last weekend Peter and I just dropped everything, got into the car and headed home to the Cape. . .together.  We were able to get away early enough that we got home before supper, and were able to eat with Peter's family. . . .Peter had phoned ahead to warn his mom there'd be two hungry men coming to supper.  She already had the chowder simmering. . . .mainly clams but other items and tidbits thrown in for gustatorial surprise. . . .like generous succulent chunks of lobster, lots of mushrooms and carmelized onions, red-skinned potatoes. . . ..yummmmmm. . . . .and hunks of warm buttered garlic bread to dunk in. . . . "What could my Jayzzzusss do more!?!"  It was GOOD. . . .very go

 teach. . . .and then got involved in some good after-class give-n-take with some students . . . .which I found quite stimulating and affirming that they are learning, interested with a lot to offer.  It has been a profitable school year, I can see now.  Gratifying.

And. . . I have forgotten what it was I thought was so important to add here.

I am posting this now before it becomes way to old to bother with.

ciao ciao,
