Well I just got off the
phone with my youngest sibling, Bridget. She often calls me when she is on her
way into the office. While I was talking to her, I glanced down at my turntable
bookcase and saw a spiral binding I had not noticed in my earlier searches for
my 1999 daily pages (my daily or not journal entries). I opened it from the back
to find odd notes and lists of things to do. The middle section was mostly
blank pages with a few doodles here and there. Then I flipped to the front and
found the opening page dated Friday, September 10, 1999, 4 PM. I rarely put
this much effort into dating my entry often not even including the year. I will
reread it as I enter it here. It is long so I will split it up into several

Well this has been
quite a summer. It started out fast and furious with weddings and Andrew’s
graduation and party. Then a trip to Duck, NC for Memorial Day. We flew. It was
great. Andrew’s Prom—he looked wonderful and so did Seana. We took many nice
pictures. Then I went to San Francisco with Katie from work. It is a beautiful city. We took a couple of
walks and I drove to Sonoma—very beautiful.
John and I had our 27th
wedding anniversary and I can’t remember if we even went out. It seems like
after Andrew’s graduation we just stayed home on the weekends and ate at home
outside on the deck. It was hot, hot, hot, but really a nice summer. Then in August,
we went to St. Andrew’s in New Brunswick, Canada. It was a nice week of all of
us together.
