Typical weekend at the Stocking household. Children gone here and there, The Other (Younger) Half tearing up the front yard and me getting out on my bike. The only difference this weekend was that we were able to get together with some long-time friends, Russ & Jill. We've known them since college, and although our families now live only about 25 miles from each other, we get together about once a year. Usually we haul ourselves up to their place kids in tow, and spend a long afternoon and evening there. Saturday we were able to leave the children at home and just the four of us were able to go out. We had a lovely meal at a place called The Corner Table, which is just around the block from where my dad grew up in South Minneapolis. We got back to our place, cracked open some wine and sat out on the porch till about midnight talking and laughing. Nice.
In other news, The Other (Younger) Half is starting her internship at Abbott Northwestern today. She was a bit nervous, naturally, because she thinks she'll be overwhelmed by all the stuff she has to learn in her week of training. Whatever. She's got nothing to worry about. This is the woman who's life constantly looks like she's bitten off more than she can chew, but she always manages to get everything down without choking and then end up taking a couple of more bites for good measure. Note to TOYH: You will not have to learn how to document everything perfectly into ANW's system right off the bat. This is what your internship supervisor is for. Sheesh. Now that that's out of the way, enjoy your learning experience.
