Honorary son got himself a good night's sleep, then headed on in to New Orleans before lunch. He came down to run a half marathon in the Mardi Gras Marathon on Sunday.

We talked and talked--a lot to catch up on. And I was really impressed by his car sound system. He tells it (verbally) what to play, and it does.

The car is a Ford hybrid and runs really smoothly and quietly. I didn't ask him about mileage, but that's generally a consideration.

All in all, a good visit, and a very nice break in my "routine."

He's a good guest--the futon is folded back up, and everything back to where it was.

So today was definitely on the quiet side. There were plenty of things I could have been doing but didn't.

Unfortunately, those things seldom go away.

But--the break in routine has discombobulated my sense of time to give me an extra day in the week.

Now I am anxiously awaiting arrival of YD's latest book, which is supposedly (based on Amazon's info page) coming out any day. I have two or three copies from various booksellers on pre-order.

Weather today was gorgeous--the furnace didn't cycle on after once at wake-up time.

I shall be going to the sports section first on Monday to see where honorary son placed.
