ok, so cayle's first swim meet was last night......i was somewhat surprised by the absense of the williams family...........i was soon brought up to speed......they have joined the country club, and will swim for that team for this summer and all summers to come.........they never struck me as clubbers.......but i suppose the level of competition for that team would be greater than for the dart sharks.........we wish them luck.....

afterwards, i got a wild hair to clean out my 'files'....boxes of stuff in a corner of our bedroom that have threatened to take over.....i threw away a substantial trash bag full of stuff, and reshelved books, restowed stuff that used to be under the loveseat before it was taken away to be recovered, and finally put away the stuff left in the vacation suitcase....and now the bedroom looks nearly picture perfect, with the newly recovered loveseat.........look quick, because my cleaning modes tend to be brief........
