The Party's Over ...

... well, at least the party that my boss and EducationQuest gave me at the Country Club of Lincoln. I was honored by how many people came and how much work went into the "event." Most of our "retirees" here in our building get a cake and a room where staff can stop by and wish them adieu. Instead, there were fancy invitations and then wonderful food and free drinks for all the attendees ... about 60. I didn't choose the guest list but it was a good balance of staff, board members, professional colleagues, and former work colleagues (also professionals but friends, too). Rob may provide a follow-up party for just friends ... but we shall see. We are both so worn out from the past few months of celebrating that the party does need to be over!! Perhaps in January, we can celebrate again ... when I'm well-rested and ready for this new chapter of my life that begins in just a little over 2 weeks! 

As the title song goes ... the party's over and it's time to call it a day. BUT ... not quite yet. Oh, no, faithful readers ... not even close. Tonight we go to a cocktail party for University of Nebraska Law College alums ... and when we get home our friends John and Tom may be there. Then there's tomorrow night ... big night at the Symphony where Rob and I will be working during the intermission (almost called it half-time!) for a fundraiser. Maybe on Saturday ... we will rest. Maybe. 

This little clip (bear with the 1970's humor ... ) shows two remarkable singers ... talking about  how their party is over ... as was mine from last night. But the new party will begin soon!! Stay tuned.
