It's May already. It won't be long and the days will be longer. It'll be holidays soon and I'll be back in Portland wishing I was here. Only going for a short time this time. Missing Dad's birthday which is a pity, but the first of July is a problem date. I suppose I should go because he didn't miss mine. I wonder how much longer I can afford this sort of thing. It's hard to look after money when you have enough that you don't have to look after it just now.
