Artemis, Athena, Aphrodite, Demeter, Hera, and a bunch more, all rolled into one big lovable package. But the particular item that deserves some kudos …<\/p>\n
When you look in the vacation books and sites about taking a Big Trip to Disneyworld, there’s this elaborate timeline of things you should be planning, extending months in advance. Accomodations and travel. Admission ticket plans. Where you are going, on what days, what special deals are available, what special events are going on, etc., etc., etc.<\/p>\n
Months, this sort of thing takes to plan.<\/p>\n
Margie has been doing it in days. Not months, not weeks, days. Web research. Phone calls. A veritable whirlwind of vacation-planning activity. <\/p>\n
And it’s all going to be wonderful.<\/p>\n
While she’s at all of this, mind you, she’s also been doing her employment job and taking care of Squiggy and keeping everything else going in the house.<\/p>\n
And she cooked me Beef Bourguignon last night. Mmmmmmm.<\/p>\n
It’s tempting fate to say I’m the luckiest dude on the planet. But, damn, I sure am.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
