ok, so....my significant travel companion was lukewarm when i mentioned going to paris over winter break........maybe it was the paying for his own ticket part, but he was unenthusiastic nevertheless.........i am in sore need of something to look forward to.......bad sentence grammatically but the sentiment is heartfelt......we will be closed til january 19, or so.......except for new years eve.........i look forward to the time off.............

i took cayle and our neighbor lena swimming after work today.......lena is quite brave...she would jump off of both the dock and the rocks around the dock....fearlessly.....i was impressed.....a very hermione thing to do.......
