Two happier items:
- I got my financial aid! I’ve been approved for just under two grand per quarter, for a total of close to six grand for fall, winter, and spring quarters. Even better, it’s primarily grant money, with the balance being work-study — none of it is in loans! It’ll mean putting in some hours at another part-time job to make up the work-study requirements, but that’s a small price to pay for getting through this year of school loan-free.

As I’ve got the next two and a half days off (it would have been three, but there’s a training session with the local Nikon representative on Thursday afternoon), Prairie and I have decided to run away to go camping at Mt. Ranier. We’ve got a small mountain of camping equipment in the living room ready to load into the car, and will be heading out tomorrow morning, to return Thursday midday sometime so I can go to the training session.
“Ev’rybody Wants To Be A Cat (The Aristocrats, 1970)” by English, Liz/Harris, Phil/Ravenscroft, Thurl/Scatman Crothers from the album Classic Disney Vol. 5 (1970, 2:03).
Wonderful news on both counts. Have fun camping, and take lots of pictures.
I am slowly putting up the pictures from our “runaway weekend.”
Emily gets home to Kev and Noah this evening.
Love to you both.
Dad
Good for you! Have a great time.
