The 324th day of 2016 was a surreal day for me. 11/19/16 was a Saturday, so, lately, those have on the relaxing side. But, today was hectic, with two shows for Anna as well as a soccer game. We were booked end-to-end starting from Noon. But, the hecticness did not cause the surrealness for me. It was the finality of a few things. Alexa and her classmates in 9th grade, most likely, played their last game for the Oaklyn Soccer Club. Alexa has been playing Oaklyn Soccer for forever (I think 9-10 years) and I have really enjoyed the fact that she AND Anna have been able to play together for the last few seasons. And then Anna had her last two shows for The Lion King over at Colls Middle School. She has blossomed in this show and I have loved watching that - and now we have to wait until Fall 2017 for the next Colls MS Show. Time marches on and milestones are reached. It made me think of this song we sang at Graduation from Masterman. And, I know these events today were not scholarly graduations, but they were milestones nonetheless.
