Nothing spectacular but just fine in my book. Meanwhile we've been getting great support from NPR stations and VH-1, who've featured me on four programs so far. I've been home now for nine whole days, which is around five days longer than any point during the rest of the year. Then my three teen-aged nephews came for a week's visit, which increased the noise level considerably. We spent a lot of time doing things they don't have the opportunity to do in New Jersey - white water rafting on the Ocoee River was the highlight, I think.
Boys really are different.
The dogs had the time of their lives with them. Jake and Foster probably spent more time being held than they have since they were eight weeks old. Nothing like a big teenager scooping you up in his arms, then carrying you around the house all day, to spoil an otherwise perfectly behaved dog. I must admit that it was nice to have the dogs so worn out by the end of each day. I leave in a week for some touring, then Pat and I get a two week vacation.
