To sub tomorrow or not? That is the question. There's a middle school English position I could take, one I've done before. The teacher runs a tight ship and I've had no problems previously. It's just... I've already been in the schools three days this week and I really don't want to go back until Monday. On the other hand, what would I do tomorrow? Work on the bulldog, take a walk, enjoy a sunny day with above freezing temperatures, maybe chip away at some snow and ice on the drive. 

Hmm, doesn't sound too bad. The last I knew, I was supposed to be retired.

I was pouring a cup of coffee this morning when I remembered I had a nine o'clock appointment for my last shingles shot at the Health Department. Since it was almost ten, I called, was told I could still come in, and made a mad dash for town. The shot was given and I was back home forty minutes later.

The rest of the morning was spent painting the bulldog intarsia piece. One color was finished before Sargie and I decided we'd take an afternoon drive to Rhinelander.

We purchased groceries, a lamp, and odds and ends that we probably could have lived without. Still, we had fun shopping, talking, eating, and spending time together. It was the perfect "us" day.

Sargie closes the Vision Center Friday night. I'm still undecided about tomorrow. I could ponder why I should sub, but then it's easy to ask, why not? Only time will tell.

After all, a man's work is never done.

So are the tales from Pentoga Road...

You don't have the last name of Milligan and not celebrate St. Pat's Day!
