Interesting Mail Day

The weather finally turned last night, but I was not feeling well this morning so took the first part of the day off and came into work after lunch. The T has been busier being the alternative mode of transportation these days and I ended up stuck for a half hour at Central station - not pleasant, but at least the air was going and so it wasn't too uncomfortable.



The upside was that I got my mail for the day - a letter from Jenny Telling an old friend I used to babysit for when I was younger. She had me to babysit when needed, but my regular gig was coming aftershool every Thursday to watch the kids. I started in middle school when it was just Sally but after 6 years it was up to three kids with Ned and Rob added to the mix. I go to college, they move to Vermont. We still stay in touch a bit. I stop by their place before heading off to California and Sally teaches me how to knit (she learned in her Waldorf school). I move out west and they move over seas and we loose touch. Fast forward almost 10 years and I hear that Ned (the middle kid, the one on the right who looks alot like my brother in this picture) is graduating highschool! They were frozen in my mind as kids - young kids - now it looks like they are all taller than me!



Second piece of mail is an email from a guy, Danny, that a friend set me up with. We are working out when to meet up and he included a picture. At first I was relieved, he seemed nice and was kind of cute. But now I kind of wonder about his photoshop skills and whose kids are those! It's a bit strange after you look at it for awhile. He seems really nice though and has parental approval in the form that Joanne's mom knows him.



The dilema is that my friend/coworker Collen is having a bachelorette party saturday, Jenny just invited me out to an island off of Martha's Vineyard this weekend (Sally and Rob will be visiting then), and Danny suggested getting together saturday night. Plus, I'm going to go out to the Cape next weekend (welfleet) to celebrate the opening of a building I have been working on and could visit Jenny then (but not Sally). I'm still trying to figure out if I could fit all three into the same weekend!
