This and that

Not much thinking power left at the end of this day so I'll just post some random notes:

• I'm taking 'on call' duty this week, which means carrying a pager; the wee hour calls are the worst; got one last night at 12:30. Called in ever so reluctantly and was told that our contractor in India was handling it...grrrrr. Had a hard time getting to sleep after that.
• Mose passed his driving exam today; I was very nervous this time and was so happy when he was successful. He drove to youth group on his own tonight and will take Abe to school tomorrow. One more step toward independence.
• We're having a lot of fun watching the geese in the green space. Two pair seem to have settled for the breeding season (see yesterday's post for a picture) but others come and go. A couple times today there were eleven grazing at the same time. Last year, the space was host to one pair and twelve goslings. I'm assuming some or all of these are from the same family. Not sure how all of that works in the goose world.
• Mom sprained her knee yesterday. She sounded pretty good when we talked today but worried about whether she'll be healed up enough to enjoy their trip to Florida late next month. Thankfully she didn't break any bones - perhaps the Fosamax is contributing to better bone health.
