After a busy busy weekend with guests, I am exhausted. Today we did nothing. OK — I did some laundry, cleaned up, made a return to Target, did some reading. But in the grand scheme of things, it felt like very little.
The weekend was nice — Maddie's friend, Juliana, and her mother, my friend Ann — were here. We ran like crazy — to the zoo, the beach, out to eat, the movies. It was fun — nice to see friends, good to catch up. Maddie planned the itinerary, full of everything she loves to do best. But by Sunday we opted out of the visit to the science center; we were all glad to stay put. We substituted a trip to get ice cream, and no one complained.
Their visit made me homesick, made me miss friends terribly. But we have to get over it.
So today I was still catching up. But I have enough energy to be impressed with Warren Buffett and Bill and Melinda Gates. I was off Bill Gates and Microsoft for awhile. But they've redeemed themselves. And I like Buffett's attitude about his kids' inheriting money; he says they should have to earn their own fortunes. I'm guessing his kids got quite an education and have been well provided for; they won't be suffering from their lack of inheritence.
Once again, proof that there is indeed humanity in our culture. You just have to seek it out.
