Woe is me, Sadie is gone; Sadie and I drove to Portland yesterday afternoon. We found The Art Institute of Portland, where Seraph will be next year. Very snazzy place. We went to the Veritable Quandry, her favorite restaurant in Portland. It was a hole in the wall dump in the riverside commercial slums when I was a law student, and now is a spendy trendy restaurant in a gentrified rehab area.

Ooooo, Sadie's home
March 24, 2004 by Sue in Wielesek
Ooooo, Sadie's home. I picked her up in Portland about 11 last night. I listened to the Oregon basketball game all the way up; they won and will play Notre Dame tomorrow night. She looked so sophisticated and beautiful I actually had to stare for a minute to make sure it was her. She is playing with Sam and Emma while I spend an hour at the office. I always feel so much better when I can actually see
all my kids and their families. I belong to the Radical Solipcism (???) school of parenting. Love, om

March 22, 2004 by Sue in Wielesek
What a gorgeous weekend! I spent the weekend with a 28 year old worker guy, and pretty darn hard working company he was, too. We worked Saturday at mi oficina and Sunday a mi casa, doing yard work until I was feeling muy viejo. Sunday morning Adam, Jamie and the kids showed up, bearing orange juice, champagne, and muffins, for a sunny mimosa morning. Seraph and Robbie fed me Sunday night, a kindness for which I was most grateful. I just got back from lunch with Jamie and the kids; Sam got an operational digital watch as part of Wendy's lunch. Remember when watches were so expensive we
got them for graduation presents?

It's another damn (whoops, the FCC beckons) darn Friday night. I am hoping and hoping that I can get my desk clean by Tuesday when Sadie arrives.
A year ago we were in Belize when the war started. Trust you all remember the line from the Steinbeck novel, The Moon is Down, about the Nazi invasion of Denmark, when one of the occupation soldiers said, bitterly, The flies have conquered the flypaper."
Went with friend Carol last night to see The Fog of War, primarily an interview with McNamara, Secretary of Defense during the Vietnam War. Deja vu. I wonder what would happen if everyone who had access to the Internet agreed with everyone to refuse to fight wars anywhere but computer games.

Hi, in honor of Mel Gibson, could we move Easter this year?
It falls on American Easter this year anyhow, and I doubt Jesus would care much. How about the Sunday, the 28th, that Sadie is here? I talked with Ilona and Steve at the St. Paddy's Day party last night and they thought it would be fine. How come all holidays in our family inevitably turn into pagan rituals? Probably it's our fondness for food.

Working late on Friday night
March 13, 2004 by Sue in Wielesek
Working late on Friday night. This was a week that I thought I would get all the loose ends tied up on Monday and have the rest of the week to garden. It's now 8:00 p.m. and I still have to finish one thing before I leave. It feels like trying to run through jello.

It is a lovely sunny day, falling in one of the first weeks when I have not had gobs of clients and/or gobs of trials.
I even had time to pop in and see Jamie and Sam on my way to work this morning! I suspect that I will enjoy retirement!
