Peace Like A River


It was a wide river, mistakable for a lake or even an ocean unless you'd been wading and knew its current. Somehow I'd crossed it... Now I saw the stream regrouped below, flowing on through what might've been vineyards, pastures, orhards... It flowed between and alongside the rivers of people; from here it was no more than a silver wire winding toward the city. - Leif Enger, Peace Like A River

For lo, the winter is past...

Sunshine today, Easter Sunday should be very nice, and temps could be in the high 50s by Tuesday. Begone, Winter!

Last night I went over to Best Buy and got my XM satellite radio pieces. I got the SkyFi2 receiver, and I also got a boombox for use at home. I'm going to bring the truck over there at 2 today so they can install it. Then, just gotta order the subscription. I'm still not clear yet on whether you get the online listening service if you pay now at the lower prices. Prices are going up on April 2, and you can prepay multi-year subscriptions now at, say, less than $9/month. But I don't know if that will give you the ability to listen online then.

We took the kids to Bridge Park last night after supper, till it got dark. I was pretending to be a monster and chase them. They'd scamper down the slide. Once I was kinda growling, and John wanted me to talk normally again, so he said "Can you be a Daddy now?" Ha.

Once an airplane flew over, and Hanna giggled. I started making airplane noises and put my arms out, and Hanna said "You're not an airplane! You're a daddy!" Ha.

We'll probably go swimming later this afternoon.

We got to talk to Grandma this morning. So nice to hear her speaking. Still had a little trouble, but very clear a lot of the time.
