Super Monday Miscellany


Today was a super day! Well, maybe going to Wal-Mart wasn't too great, but it just made the rest better.

Swimming is always great! Such a good start to the day.

John went to see two doctors this morning. The radiology oncologist gave him a good report, and his PSA is now down to 0.5! From there he went on to the orthopedic surgeon for a hopefully final visit. The doc released John to row!!! Oh, joy! That was probably the best news of the day. He'll be out on the water first thing in the morning.

John and I started off bridge this afternoon with terrific cards. And we were bidding and playing them well. We had a huge first round score. It was spotty after that, but with more good cards than bad. Plus we got to play with some of our favorite people as we worked our way through the progressions.

Sue wrote that Paul has another job. He'll be working at the Merry-Go-Round Playhouse in Auburn, NY for the season. They even furnish housing and a stipend. I love the idea of his being in such a different environment from that in Charleston.

And Margaret wrote news of Jesse with a new photo. He has a new haircut - shaved. It looks good. He says the weather is very hot and very dry. No rain at all - just an occasional sandstorm. But he's doing his job, and has the opportunity to check in with his folks on about a weekly basis. And what a blessing that is!

Today's photo is from Google - a sandstorm in Iraq.
