The last weekend

Some might be tempted to do as much as possible for their last childless weekend, and that's certainly a valid option. But, we've decided to do as little as possible, instead. Our thoughts are that we'll have the rest of our lives to do the things we like to do, and will eventually be able to even bring Chloë with us for most of that, but we won't have many weekends where we will be able to do nothing at all. And those truly are the best weekends, aren't they? Sleeping in, parking your butt on the couch and watching whatever ridiculousness is on HGTV or Food Network or TBS, and enjoying every wasted minute of it. Weekends of nothing, we will miss you.

T minus 106 hours.

Here's to nothing. And all the best
wishes for the three of you.

Ah, yes...to nothing!
I'm a big fan of doing nothing.

We went for a nice walk, did a little cleaning, watched a movie and cooked a nice dinner. Not really nothing, but it was a whole lot of not much.

Thanks, Father Luke.

I was young, a long time ago, and
around the time of my youth there
were such things as self-improvement seminars. Nothing
more, really than an opportunity
to hang around with friends, and
exchange money for the things we
were laying down. A verbal small
press, if you will?

So, there was one guy, whose name
escapes me presently... Bill something...
anyway he was very funny. Bill
used to do the:

Nothing Seminar

It was great fun to buy entrance
to the seminar, and watch Bill get
off purpose by "doing" something...

Maybe he would get up and stretch,
or walk around the room, or yawn...

Anyway, you're welcome. It's so nice
to have people in my life who know
how do nothing.

Father Luke
