(Vivi’s fifth birthday!)
I’m sitting here at my computer, deleting
blog post drafts I started and never finished. Most of them are only a title,
perhaps a line or two, that weren’t completed and so never were published.
Larry sat down in the living room to talk to me about his anxiety concerning
his upcoming trip to Oberlin to be a part of a fund raising group for the Class
of 1967. He’s dreading the travel,
flying, being gone, and said he’s working on his attitude. Well, guess what I
stumbled across from August 2010, before a trip to Boston for Larry to receive
a teaching award. An unfinished blog entry…

Here's
another post that won't get posted. I need to write this stuff down now and
then I can decide later whether to write more, dump it, or what.
We're
going to Boston next week. I feel a little bit excited at odd moments, but
mostly I am dreading riding on an airplane, being at airports, the inevitable
heat and humidity, not having decent clothes to wear, and wondering how to have
a good time. Larry and I aren't good travelers. I am pretty sure he thinks he
is a good traveler, but we really don't know how to be tourists. The idea of
being a tourist isn't very appealing to me. I'm quitting here. It will just be
a litany of complaints if I keep on. If I could lose 50 pounds, shrink in
height about 4 inches, not have fibromyalgia, tolerate heat and humidity,
believe in something, and have a better attitude, I'd have something to write
about.
Back to 2015. I remember five years ago, having traveled to Chapel Hill to
be there for Vivian Claire Dellon’s birth. I don’t remember dreading the trip,
I only remember being happy to see that new little baby and her big sister.
