It's been a busy weekend. Jennifer had a 'girls' night' on the patio Friday with neighbors and a friend who brought more whine than wine. We went, on a whim, to the DeAnza flea market on Saturday morning. It remains an intersection of shopping and browsing through the catalog of my past. Kitchen stools, pogo sticks, tinker toys and a long-sought Lenny Bruce LP (which I already had of my parents, just without the cover, which is essential). We stopped by my mom's and showed her the LP, and she pointed me to the box in the den still filled with a wide array of their albums, all for me to take as I please. Wow. The older I get, the more I look back at such subtle reminders of the past. Along with theirs, I found a modest array of my own. All are now at Panorama, along with several additions found Sunday in Boulder Creek. One, a K-TEL LP, was something I was thinking about Saturday while driving with Jen to Matt's, and then boom…. It's in a bin at SWAG when we go Sunday morning for a different purpose. That left me speechless. I'm good for now, I think. The reason for the trip was to buy the cement face I wanted, but it was sadly gone—my loss for waiting. Last night we saw Diana at Mark and Lyn's and the usual suspects. It was great; I had a good time but perhaps too much wine myself. Maybe I need to set a two-drink maximum as previously threatened. It's just hard to pass up when I get to try new and distinct wines. Things with Tommy have been stable but in a good part because I've just avoided getting into things. Today he pressed about moving plans, and I told him again we had to talk about and discuss agreements for his non-college future. He hung up and texted me a nasty comment. Unbelievable. Lauren worked and got her haircut afterward in advance of our VEGAS trip tomorrow. When returning from Boulder Creek, Jen and I made an impromptu stop at Byington to relax and taste. It was a welcome break and fun to share some one-on-one time before Lauren and my trip. We are talking again about moving into Panorama ASAP, regardless of its state. The longer we wait, the less we get done and spend more on two places. We might press for something Mid-June; we're still talking over options.
