A Week in the Life--Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday

 I thought it would be fun to document what we do in a regular week.  Fun for me, yes.  Fun for you?  Probably not.  Don't expect to be dazzled by my life, but do expect that I might find this interesting when looking back one day.  And I will be posting a full week in segments, since a week's worth would be way too long for one post!
