As I wrote the last post, it got me to thinking about other memories. One was that with the end of summer, there would be more order at the house. All of the kids have been out for the summer and have been able to say up all night and watch TV or surf the net. They would sleep all day and repeat this again. I was not real bad about this; perhaps only when I had a friend over and we would watch movies, o net was available back then. With the advent of school approaching, kids have to go to sleep at a descent time. Our time for daughter is 10.30pm to be in bed and asleep. Not to be up asking questions and saying I forgot or I need to tell you something. Growing kids need their sleep and rest and this is an issue that we try to make daughter understand. I was really never that bad about sleep.
Another realization is that there are no more real holidays until Thanksgiving and Christmas. Yes it is a long stretch until then. Halloween comes around, but that is not a holiday unless you are a pagan then you might try to get the day off. I can remember when I was in college having to go to football games during that weekend with the band. When I was younger, I would go skiing with my father to Colorado. So that was something to look forward to during that long stretch between September and November. After that, Christmas comes very quick so I would make my Christmas list and give it to all concerned…
Perhaps more later as I think about things.

Let teachers and priests and philosophers brood
over questions of reality and illusion.
I know this: if life is an illusion, then I
am no less an illusion, and being thus, the
illusion is real to me. I live, I burn with life, I
love, I slay, and I am content.
(Robert E. Howard, Queen of the Black Coast, Weird Tales, May 1934)
