A quiet event

Jim and Son #2 --- a few days before Son #2 got quite ill with pneumonia and ended up in the hospital -- November, 1992.

     Today was a good day.  I played tennis -- not as well as yesterday, but not as poorly as on Wednesday.
It's all relative.
But most of the day I spent with good friends.  
I love my friends.

I also decided to do this to our wedding bands, which I'd worn since the morning I took Jim to the hospital and had to take his: 

It's probably difficult to see what they actually look like --- iPhones, not so great as cameras -- but I put them inside each other (they fit perfectly together -- imagine) and then turned them at 90 degree angles.  I showed this to the jeweler (the one who should have, but failed to, send me a card) and had them connect them so that I could wear them on a chain.  They look much better in person.  
I don't know I did this at this point ---- I thought I'd wear them on my fingers a whole lot longer -- it just felt right.  I seem to be going with my gut a lot more than I used to.  I mean, I always have relied on that, but not as freely as I do now.
     So now my left ring finger is bare.  Except for the white line around it where my ring used to be.  And the same for my middle finger, where I wore his ring.
Another milestone.
Not a good one, but it's there.

Oh, and before I go .... Son #3 made the A team in football!!!  He played on the C team last year and his coaches said he had improved a lot (and I thought he played great last year!).  He was very proud ..... as am I.
As is Jim.

That's all ---- I think that's more than enough for one day.
