8 Things I did yesterday

1. Fed breakfast to Old Dog’s youngest daughter and her 2 kids

2. Went to a Columbus Clippers game with my daughter and her partner and their 2 kids

3. Walked from my daughter’s house in the German Village to the new Clippers’ stadium on the other side of downtown – a walk she claims is 2 miles, but felt like the Bataan Death March. (Note to self: Never go for a stroll with a woman who is training for the Boston Marathon.)

4. Dropped off a card to Old Dog’s middle daughter & saw her 3 kids

5. Came home and absolutely crashed, taking my weary old body to bed at 8:30.
