Good morning!

Just getting back to the office after a dental cleaning. This was one of the easiest cleanings that I have had yet! Maybe I'm starting to get it right after 62 years.

Mike, we have a lot of old 8mm tapes, VHS tapes, DVDs, etc that we need to sort through. Some of these have pictures of Jacob, and our parents who are all gone. I have off and on looked at machines that will take these old tapes and put them in digital format. My laptop doesn't even have a CD drawer on it. We still have some of our old VHS equipment, so we can play back on that. I just have not found the time to play with this. Perhaps it will have to continue to wait until I'm retired.

I don't know about the rest of you, but we are voting today. Kansas even made the national news with the vote on a constitutional amendment for abortion. I guess Kansas is the first to vote on this since Roe v. Wade. We also have a friend that is running for state Attorney General. That's fun. He is the former MADD national chairperson. The national president is always a mother, but the board of directors is different. He is a former cop from Lawrence, Kansas who was hit by a drunk driver while he was at a traffic stop. He was injured badly and had to retire from the force. He went to law school, and now is a successful attorney.

Well, I should probably get some work done.

Have a great day!

Gosh I leave you guys alone for a couple of days and my oh my the stuff that comes your way.

Dave: glad to hear your back spasm seems to be a bit better. Sorry to hear about the ridiculous ATT phone buying issues. sorry about your cold and perhaps sleeping on the couch.

Mike: I am glad your EKG looks pretty good and that you are going canoeing.

Bill: Hope your pains stay at bay. Glad you got to go to Point Reyes. In college I got to spend a summer at Dillon Beach Univ. of Pacific Marine Station. We went to Point Reyes many times and always loved it.

Like Steve I had a great teeth cleaning yesterday and apparently have been doing better on my end.

Sadly I would like to add that (perhaps because of the rush to unmask in schools and colleges) my grandson now has a long term covid dx. The drs said it is possible it might last upwards of a year. We are hoping it doesn't last that long.

Good Morning

Bob, I am so sorry to hear about your grandson. We still wear our masks in many situations but schools are particularly prone. My wife's Montessori Preschool has had 3 confirmed cases in students in the last 7 days and yesterday she sent a child home who started coughing and had a fever. Masks are more effective at preventing the spread to others than they are in protecting us from the carelessness of others. I hope his road through this is shorter than expected.

I managed to get a good hill walk in yesterday and some gentle stretching in. I will go easy today but walk and continue to stretch. I also moved more boxes out of storage so today I am a tad stiff and will need to coax my back into a happier place. I suppose I should schedule a dental appointment after I find a new dentist under my wife insurance which changed. I keep putting it off.
