So while Mari and Doug are off visiting folks, I’m holding down the fort at their place. This mainly involves caring for and interacting with their two cats, but that’s not such a bad deal. They have an incredibly nifty house in a relatively peaceful neighborhood, so that’s an upside. The downside is commuting and shopping, but I guess that’s what happens when the guy who doesn’t drive spends a lot of time in the land of the well-wheeled.

Such is life, eh?

In other news, Wendi and I went to the mandatory parenting class this morning. Oddly enough, it wasn’t entirely boring and tedious. There were a few nuggets of useful information, and even some hints that maybe, just maybe, we’re doing this whole “divorced parents” thing halfway-okay.

I’ll take all the encouragement I can get, you know?

So for the rest of the day I think I’m going to kick back, veg out and enjoy my extra-long weekend. You should do the same. You’ve earned it, haven’t you?
