"You're Ready"

That's what the professor said to us tonight in this, one of our final pre-practicum classes.

He's known most of us for years, taught us a wide variety of subjects. He's spent all semester watching us counsel in person and on videotape.

And he says we're ready.

And I think he's right.

This weekend the family will head down to Austin for Toland's birthday lunch. Cool. He's hitting the big 4-0. I think we'll have a grand time. I haven't had dim sum in ages. I hope I can get the kids to try something.

I was pretty nerdy today.

The clients have clearly found our new office. The phone rang off the hook this morning, and into the afternoon some. Fine, fine.

THEGIRL still babbles a lot, says nonsensical stuff. Her speech has come a long way, but when she gets me on the phone it's pure jibberish. Well, until her brother comes by, apparently, at which point she's fully capable of yelling, "I-AM-TALKING-TO-DADDY!"

Gotta work on that.

I'm going to Chicago next month, and Cincinnati the following month. Austin is Saturday... cool. I like traveling quite a bit. And I need to get down to Angleton and see my family at some point. Boy, maybe sooner than later... fall's going to be busy.

Tired. Good night.
