With students heading to Muse Machine’s final callbacks I realized I would have a free evening after 6:45 PM so I contacted my friend Debbie McCutcheon to see if she’d want to join me at La Pinata in Centerville since I knew Jim taught late at the University of Dayton (he has one of my college students at 9:00 PM).

We had a delicious marathon dinner and chat about everything under the sun.

At 12:07 AM I left the south end of Centerville and somehow ended up in the parking lot of Bill’s Donuts.

While standing in line I was taken with this family with three small children wrapping up their treat to Bill’s.  As they were leaving I complimented them on excellent parenting and explained how I would often bring the boys to Bill’s Donuts at midnight, even on a school night.  Come to find out, they lived in Dayton while he was stationed at Wright Patterson Air Force Base and now lived in Los Angeles.  We laughed over the fact that I was getting donuts to send to Los Angeles to my son.

I will get this box off, overnight, to Los Angeles, tomorrow morning.

The weather was beautiful, today, and tonight it is even lovelier.
