Highlights: Jen's off to Portland, and the dogs are visibly shaken. Tommy and I had dinner at Aqui and made plans for a two-night stay for Catalina at month-end, which I could not say no to. I'm continuing to try to make time daily for piano exploration (I won't call it learning just yet). I had a good conversation with a friend over coffee about childhood, retirement, parenting and relationships. I'm grateful that Tommy and my communication has improved. I sense that he's gradually healing from the past few years+ of struggle.
