Now that Chim is free, free, free! and no longer confined to the bathroom, Linda doesn't feel nearly as guilty when she leaves the house for any extended period of time. The worse was when she had to go from work, straight to something else and he had to be confined for 6 hours during the day. (I know, some of you are laughing at her. Dogs with owners who work sometimes sleep in a crate for 10 hours without a break.) Linda has always been sensitive about leaving us too long. Plus, Chimi is sleeping on the Big Bed at night with us now, so he only goes into his den when he wants to (or the vacuum & Swiffer mop are out.) She thinks he just lays around sleeping when shes gone, but I'll never tell on him what he is really doing!

Linda went to her friend Laura's church last night for a time of Praise and Worship. It was some of the same songs her church sings, so she knew all the words. The saxophone and the harp were nice additions to the band and the worship leader had a wonderful voice. Linda couldn't stay for the fellowship after since Taylor was playing in a basketball game at the Rec Center and she wanted to watch.

Back in the day, Taylor played some pretty good B-Ball. He was on a few (maybe 3) National championship winning teams. His 3 on 3 team actually won the regional DC Hoop-it-Up tournament and went on to Orlando to win first place in the 18-24 year old division.
After classes today, we are going to take our walk (Jerry is at his parents this weekend) and then Linda is going to try to learn how to use a leaf blower. I wish someone could be taking a video of that! I'm sure the leaves will be blowing back up into her face and hair. She'll have to quickly shower and get ready for the annual party that Nancy (YMCA-TKD) hosts. Last year Linda only stayed 15 minutes, she's going to try and stay at least double that this year. (Crowded group events are not Linda's favorite things, even if she knows some of the people there.)
