Wow, things just keep moving on and on.
This last week was exciting. Last Sunday my sister Sarah gave birth to Lorenzo “Enzo” Mylo Ridley. Weighing in at 8lb11oz, he looks too cute to be real.
And as if being an uncle once in a week wasn’t enough, On Saturday, my sister Amy gave birth to Keira May Archibald. I haven’t seen Keira yet, but at 9lb10oz, I’m sure she’s just like her mom. I was apparently one of the first to hear the news. When my mom called, I was in a rather public place and didn’t really care if I was making a scene. Is that bad phone etiquette? I’m sure this would be a valid exception regardless.
And on Sunday I drove myself down to Champion to visit my grandparents on their 60th anniversary (also my grandpa’s birthday. Besides the tons of great food, (always present at Ellis gatherings), and visiting with family, it was well worth the 8+ hours of driving. I took no pictures.
Between the exciting bookends, the week itself was fairly exhausting, but interesting.
On Thursday (Valentine’s Day), I went to help flush kitchen drains in a high-rise. In such a building it was interesting to see the great variety of tastes and decorative styles that can exist in such a building. First of all, all of the condos would have been fairly expensive based on location and view, but some of the flats were quite posh, while others were very humble. For example, two adjacent units looked like they were separated by about 2 decades and several tax brackets.
It would have not been too bad, except for the flushing we were doing on the 19th floor caused a backup on both the 17th and 16th floors. That took awhile to fix.
And on Friday, I was on (as in on the roof) of a several million dollar house (one of those on Summit Drive). I thought to myself that I could definitely get used to such accommodations. Now I just need to win the lottery, or rob a bank, you know, whichever.
