Merritt, Devon, Liza, and I are at the office today and tomorrow. (We decided to take Friday off instead of Christmas Eve.) Will is here, too, and according to him, he’s pretending to look at specs for overhead warehouse supports. The company has quite a few warehouse re-designs going on as they try to keep up with tech advances.
Will told me to pretend to look at all of my markups from all my site visits, then he reminded me that there were snacks in the break room. And then he insisted all of us join him at 10:30 for lunch. Then he said, we’d come back to the office around 1:00 and wrap up anything we needed to pretend to do.
Merry Christmas!
Emma and I had coffee earlier, before she started breakfast and before Addison came to help. We talked about those… married memories. I mentioned that I was shocked awake—in a nice way—by memories from Hannah in the 1984 Off-lie Moment. In that group, Emma and Merritt are married and Hannah and Kent are married. So, now if I think about it… I get (as does Emma)… married memories—lest the censors judge harshly and strike down my post, I’ll leave it at that.
Emma and I decided to NOT mention this to the boys. If they haven’t experienced it already, we don’t want to… light a fire.
If they have, then… Emma said she’d be embarrassed; I probably am right there with her.
But it has me thinking… With 5 days off, I think it’s a good idea to drag Kent to Scranton to meet my parents. And… yes, it’s kinda like a “meet the parents’ moment. His parents died when he was 20 in a car wreck.
As we ate, Emma brought up the idea to Merritt. He got pretty excited (he’s very even-keeled, so to notice anything means he was really spun up.)
They are going to fly to Atlanta on the 26th, then fly to Memphis on the 28th and rent a car to go to Vicksburg. They’ll fly back on the redeye and arrive Monday.
I’m not going to say the married memories are, by themselves, the reason for the visits. But, I’d be lying if I said they weren’t a factor, at least for me.
