Connie was here

Connie has been here and gone. It was
great having her here, although the visit
was too short. We talked and talked and
talked; walked a little; had lunch at the
tea house and talked some more. It was
lovely!

We had book club at Julie's rental home in
Boulder. She has furnished it very nicely
with some rental furniture and some she
has purchased. I'm sure she is waiting
to get into her rebuilt Salina home before
she decides on more furnishings. The book
was "Tinker" by Paul Harding. It is his
first novel and for it he won the Pulitzer!
It is a strange novel, well written, but
initially difficult to follow, but once
you figure out what the "plan" is it runs
along quite smoothly. It warranted an
unusual good discussion.

I missed the "free" flu shot at NCAR so
went to my primary doc and got my flu
shot for this year. Robert gets his at
the VA.

The Ochs came for lunch today. They hadn't
been to see the fire remains before. It
is pretty much covered with snow, so was
less shocking than earlier. We had a good
time talking with them, but were shocked
because Gerard has lost almost 30 pounds and
has NO energy; walking from/to the barn was
almost more than he could do. Not sure he
is getting any good medical attention.
Hopefully, he'll see his cardiologist soon
and complain a lot!
