Hotel/flight reservations have been made. I booked the executive suite of the Grand Hyatt at Union Square; the two rooms can accommodate all three of us, so it was actually cheaper than getting two individual reservations.
Flying the Continental non-stop again, which pleases me. The bad thing is that it puts me in S.F. at 11:30 a.m. the day before the show, giving me far too much time to kill, and it leaves S.F. at noon on Sunday. I'd rather it be reversed, so I could leave Cleveland later and get back sooner, but so be it.
The good news of all this? It means I have a job with NAPCO at least through February. I mean, they've done nothing to indicate we wouldn't be around, but it's good to get some assurance.
And finally, we had parent/teacher conferences for Sophie last night. She's a good student, we're told...no worries on anything academically. We also learned that she "cracks up" her teacher, and that she's constantly singing. As in when she's asked to put away the books, she'll suddenly start belting out, "Putting away books" with, as Mrs. Eckhart put it, "such a big voice for such a little body." Mrs. Eckhart also praised us because she could tell we're actively participating in Sophie's education and discipline. Seems to me that shouldn't be something that would need praising, but what do I know about modern parenting? I subscribe to no magazines and I have yet to buy anything with the words "Einstein" or "phonics" in the title. Also, I let my kids watch TV. Not FOX news, though. I want them to grow up loving people, not fearing them.
1st down pass is batted down.
Life's ball. 4th and 13 on my 32.
