Oh those Hollywood types

He's back. Number one son and heir, James along with the fair Gloria. Aren't they cute?

I had a relatively low key day in the morning, predictable work sorts of administrative things. And then another doctors appointment, this one with the surgeon who does the bronchoscopy thing. That sounds like a laugh riot. But first I get the test where you inhale the stuff that puts you into bronchial spasms. Another laugh riot. Middle age - not for sissies. When I had enough fun with pulmonologists, I came home, grabbed the dog and went for a very long walk around the Indian Ridge loop - I walked from here, so it was probably more mileage than the dog should have and it was hot. Dinner with Steve and then to the airport to collect these two. Gloria is subbing for her mother (teaching piano) so she'll be around for a couple of weeks. James is only home for part of that time. They're both going to NYC for the weekend (this of the film 'screening') and then back to Andover for the balance of their respective visits. I brought them home and fed them and am one very happy mom. It's been quiet here. Life is busy and full, and I'm very happy my kids have their own lives, but it's really nice when they return to visit the roost and in James' case, bring along a significant other. I like my kids.
