So, is “yester” a word.  When I combine it with day, there is a definite meaning.  But, what about the word by itself.  Wikipedia, that source of all knowledge, has no current page . . . perhaps someone could write one?    In dictionary fashion, yester is referred to as an adjective “pertaining to yesterday”.  .  . whatever that means!  I always thought you didn’t define a word by itself?

Oh well, all that to say that in the yester-day we headed to Saskatoon in the early morning — on the road at 6:30 am.  We arrived back at 5:30 pm in time to rest for a few minutes and back to activity at 6:30 until around 9:30 pm — by which time I tried to unwind.  The blog missed the normal treatment, so here I am quickly punching out the letters to yesterday’s blog — done today and read by most of you tomorrow!!

Coffee was set for 8:45.  We met by 9:10.  Then done by 9:30.  Sometimes you need to just touch base, even if for a few minutes.

Then back to the office.  On the phone for almost two hours straight.  I’m not a salesman so don’t always work the phones this much.  This was more related to closing up some details.

One of the calls was just what I needed.  An acquaintance from 30 some years ago.  Coming out of burnout and echoing some of my own concerns right now.  I’ve taken on many things and need to step back.  To take a little distance and view what others can do.   More than one person has requested that I pass on responsibility to them.  I love the willingness, and am thankful.  So, my next assignment is to get rid of my assignments.  Could be fun!!

The rest of the birthday finished with bowling, burgers and birthday cake.  My partner in birthday crime is Matthew Kehrer — 7 years old!!

So, freedom 55!  Check out the new tie!

And then the birthday party with my mom and dad and sister!

And in an hour or so, I’m off to another party with Matt Kehrer (who has the same birthday as me) — we’ll bowl and eat pizza!
