9 -- Coyotes, Bronze Foundry

[posted as if it were the 12th]

Work was slow enough today that I managed to catch up.  Yeay!

It was only a 4 hour shift.  I sat in the parking and talking to my mother on the phone afterwards.  It is her birthday today.  She's 78 and still going strong!
My dad made a bacon and waffle brunch for her and my brother, Brian.  It was certainly a beautiful day for birthdays!  High 70's and sunshine.
She spent quite a bit of time on the computer, learning the ways of the laptop as opposed to the WebTV.  Conversing with her friends across the nation.
Brian and my dad are digging out the bronze casting equipment and setting it back up after 30 years.  IT seems my nephew is interested in casting, and suddenly my brother and my father are interested again.  ...as am I.
Tonight they are going to a grand opening of an art show in Kingston.  A friend of ours is displaying her work there.

While I was talking on the phone with mum I noticed a coyote nosing about and the three trees and large rock that pass as forest in the parking lot.  A moment later I heard a coworker scream in delight.  "It just ran across the parking lot!"  Poor coyote.

Tonight is the Tai Pan Corp board meeting.  As soon as Juli gets home from work we'll head out.
