When my DH is out of town, I often end up just sleeping on the couch because our bed feels wrong without him there.

Dad update: I just called him. He's very disappointed because yesterday they took a biopsy of his cervical bones and the process wasn't much fun for him, and the results came in this morning as being normal neck cells. So they have to redo the process, and he has to wait until next Thursday to redo it.

They still don't know what he's got, although they know there's something not right. But all his markers (I'm assuming white blood cell count and stuff) are normal so they're really baffled. If they don't get abnormal cells with the next procedure they'll actually have to cut him open to get a sample.

Otherwise he seems to be in pretty good spirits.

Many years ago, as I was leaving on a trip, Hubby solemnly asked for a pen and a piece of paper, which I gave to him. He scribbled for a bit, returned the pen, folded up the piece of paper, and carefully tucked it into my jacket pocket. I pulled it out to read it.

"This is Connie Neil. If found, return to (full address and phone number). Reward."

I've still got it tucked in my wallet.

I'm creating the Life History Form that I'll be filling out with each of my grandparents' on the first day of interviewing next week. I'm trying to think of what pieces of information need to be included on this form.

This is what I have so far: Name, date of birth, place of birth, parents names/date and place of birth, spouses' full names/date of marriage, children's names/date and place of birth, places they've lived/approximate dates, careers/approximate dates, high school/date of graduation, and college/date of graduation and in what field.

What other information should I include on this form?

Aims!

You forgot your cell phone again, ya dope!

What other information should I include on this form?

Something about other memberships ("Quilters Association of America") or hobbies/interests maybe?

You forgot your cell phone again, ya dope!

Yeah....

What other information should I include on this form?

Is this just an initial form? Are you going to put them with family stories?

Seconding Sparky. Also, honors/awards, profession.

Is this just an initial form?

Yes. This is just so I can get an idea of the "order" their lives happened and have a place to check dates, etc.

Are you going to put them with family stories?

Eventually. I'll be collecting the stories on tape, then transcribing them.
