Happy Birthday to Mom

Well, she made it to 94. She seems to be sinking into herself, her disdain for food contributing mightily to her skin and bones look. But there's still enough of her to cherish, and it was good seeing my brother and sis-in-law as we attempted a bit of a pizza party. Thank goodness NJ pizza isn't that bad, considering how many Italian Americans live there. But the rain and particularly the fog made driving tricky, particularly given my right eye which is apparently a bit dry and therefore seeing blurry, like someone smeared something over my lens. We made it home without incident, and the GW Bridge traffic was minimal; now I have to gear up for the office tomorrow!
