Today we took Courtney to the airport, and she is currently in-flight back to California. And yes, I cried when we dropped her off. I haven't seen her in two and a half years, and I don't know when I'll see her next.
And then my Dad asked us to review a flyer that he put together with some business collaborators, and my brother and I both gasped in horror at the phrase "most optimum". My brother put it best "it makes me cry inside" to see such writing. We proposed using the word "best" as a replacement for "most optimum". Ok, I'm persnickety, and it seems my brother is too. I've written before about my friend the persnickety lady, and on days like today, I think of her ranting about the differences between then and than, formerly and formally, etc. I think bonding with my brother over complaints of bad grammar has helped me get over the pain of seeing my other sib off again.
Well, lots of crying today inside and out
