There are no pics this week.

Every year I delay heating season as long as I reasonably can. My stretch goal is to delay heating season until Thanksgiving. This year, I came closer than ever before. Highs were staying in the 60s, sometimes close to 70. But Friday somebody “threw the switch”. Temperatures dropped 15 degrees. And they are continuing to drop another 5 degrees every day. Our forecasted high Monday is in the low 40s. After that, it should warm a little. I think the heat will stay on until spring.

I saw my cardiologist Wednesday. He told me there wasn’t a need to continue visiting every year. I should come back in 2 years. That sounds like good news to me.

My website posting class concluded Wednesday. Four of my five students did well, but three of them stopped one step short of being able to post. I’m not sure exactly what their reasons are, or whether they intend to post. I wrote a SurveyMonkey, and only two students responded.

Back on Nov 3, I proposed adding a login capability to our website, along with moving our records of pool pass numbers, license plate numbers, and other such information to the web site’s database. Without bothering to read what I wrote, some of our board members started hollering about privacy. So I’ll be doing a demonstration of the proposal Dec 14. It takes a long time to get things done around here.

Danita has her Thanksgiving menu all planned. She decided to go to the grocery store first thing this morning, before it gets crowded. A side benefit is that we had Wegman’s muffins for breakfast this morning when she got back home. Yum. Our social event this weekend is the neighborhood Thanksgiving dinner tonight. They closed the registration two weeks ago when they hit 98 attendees. It’s going to be a very cozy clubhouse at dinner tonight.

I’m still recovering from my cold. Danita got the cold Wednesday. She ended up staying home from work Thursday and Friday. With her home all day, it felt like practice for her retirement.

I hope this finds everybody doing well.
