This Thursday was a very busy day.

I had to take a test in the morning.  I was a little bit anxious about it but my studying paid off and I did ok.  

I needed to write a paper which I had not started and this contributed to my anxiety.  Then when I started it I found that I needed to have studied a lot more than I realized. My wife was at school and then worked in the afternoon/evening so I had to do all the kid pick ups.  This put a real damper on my ability to get any work done.

In between picking up kids we drove around our neighborhood looking at the magnificent Asian Pear trees in bloom.  They are extraordinarily brilliant today.

As the afternoon went on an d I realized that we had a baseball game and I would probably not be able to get my paper done.  My wife gave me some great advice to emaiil the teacher and just turn it in late.

We had a great time at the ball game.  My son loves being part of a team and he loves sharing the experience with me and his mom and siblings and cousin.

Thanks be to God.
