I made more progress on thinning out the wine today, having pulled 12 out just to take to Mark and Wendy's, as well as moving things about between the two homes and hopefully staging further reductions on the short-term horizon. Jen and I spent the AM at Pano. I made further progress on my work task fleshing out my proof-of-concept for a dynamically generated report. I got a great opportunity to upgrade the TFF tickets for 6/2, Graduation night, to "VIP" seats and just said WTF and did it. And in that vein, I reached out to Mary, suggested Tara be her accompaniment and offered up the LG house for her to stay a few days and reconnect with friends and history after a pretty hard year. It gives me a great sense of accomplishment to be able to do so. If all goes well Jess and Bev will snag the other two tickets and while she's out maybe we'll get some of the rest of the old crew together again. It's comforting how we all went in various directions but can reconnect down the road. Feels like… aging. Dinner tonight was a blast as always. Such a great dynamic group. Mark played "The Circle Game". I got swept away by the realization that my chance and time with my kids has truly passed. With one I succeed, the other I failed. I'd do it again if I could, and do better in many ways. Then he played "Good Riddance" and I realized how it was less than 20 years ago that I compiled a video of my kids including a segment with this song, and with them and their mom, who's now gone from their lives. I had to hold back my tears, not wanting to have to explain the complexities of my emotions in the moment. But my, how time has passed. It's almost too hard to comprehend when I think about the very brief relative moment I have had and squandered.
