Well, I haven't written on this domain for quite some time. Ten years, maybe? I just started a new domain and now am sorry I did. Don't need two certainly when I'm not using the first one. I'll try to cancel. We are finishing up two years of living in the weird world of a covid 19 pandemic. This coming May it will be two years since our son called us to say his second wife, Desi, had left him after just barely one year since their Buckley wedding. We jumped into the car and headed for his home in Renton. What a heart breaker. So many tears. Thoughts about never being a Father and never giving us grandchildren crowding in to the hurt of being literally abandoned. She just didn't come home one night. The cruelty of leaving someone alone at the beginning of a sequestered existence made the situation all the more tragic. Now, a year and half down the road, we are proud of how our son handled himself publicly. I don't even want to think of the private moments of panic and angst. At his yearly job review with Costco Corporate he received $30,000 in stock options and an 18% raise. This will definitely help the shattered self image. Our son seems strong and handling this alone thing quite well. We just ventured out for a New Year's Eve two night stay in Woodinville, our son and the Owens, staying at The Willows and dining New Year's Eve at The Lounge at DeLille Cellars. I was disappointed with the industrial feel of the inside of the restaurant and the price was high enough that the ice cold bathrooms should have had heat of some kind. To be fair, the restaurant hasn't been open a year yet and the heavy snowfall didn't help folks get around. Still and all it was a fun weekend and we hope to venture back in the near future.
