I spent the day working through a stack of manuscripts. Considering Kieran said he didn't think the summer would be very busy, I sure had a lot of work to plow through this week but I don't mind. I like the challenge and keeping busy is a good thing - keeps me out of trouble, as Chris has mentioned more than once.

Lily and Connor went over to Joe's and Pam's in time for dinner. They're all excited because the pool is being installed this week. Not sure its going to be ready in time for them to take a dip this weekend but no doubt next weekend's plans are going to change if its ready by then. Ten bucks says its going to get Chris and I talking about putting one in.

Tristan and Heather showed up around 9 - they drove in from Abilene for the weekend. We were all up until the wee hours of the morning catching up. Its still a little strange to think of him as a newlywed (and Chris as a father-in-law!) but he and Heather both look blissfully happy and thats all that really matters.
