Miscellaneous

It's about time for a new post.  Let's see, what can I say....  Well, we have a new billboard outside. The spiderwoman is finally gone and replaced by a ghostly and very pale blond woman in a very low cut top.  

I haven't been practicing the guitar. : -(   I've been researching preschools since we heard that Max's school is closing in June.  This is sad.  It's such a sweet place.  I may as well be in New York with the intensity of the preschool competition around here.  And then there is the cost. The going rate for the best/popular international schools is about $21,000/year plus registration, building and maintenance fees that range between $2,000 and $9,000. This is for a 30 hour/week program. Can you believe it? I suppose that in many instances the company is footing the bill. But not always.  So we are debating Montessori vs. a couple of other places. Perhaps we should just drop him into a Japanese daycare program.  Much cheaper. Ah, but we must nurture his creativity and individuality and give him the optimal setting for development and socialization. Yadda yadda.

Oh, and Rich is working like a dog.  Another crazy, time-sensitive, crisis management project that is putting him and his colleagues through 14 hour weekdays and weekends. This Thursday I'll host a PwC wives get-together/support meeting at my apartment. We'll probably order fattening take-out, drink a lot of wine and be amused by Max's antics.
