Danita and I drove up to bring Bryon back, staying overnight in Gibson. Last week after dropping Bryon off, my right knee was quite painful. It hurt to walk for several days. Going up and down stairs was troublesome. I bought a heavy duty knee brace. Driving up it felt like the brace wasn’t doing anything. But when we go to Gibson, my knee was fine. It was also fine Sunday when we got home. It’s one of my better $75 purchases. The brace has earned a permanent home in the Honda’s trunk.

Lines at the airport this morning were insane. The service counter line to get a gate pass was horrendous. Two security check points were closed. Anxiety levels were high. Nevertheless, we made it to the gate 15 minutes before boarding was scheduled to start. As it happened, the flight crew were coming in on another flight that was running late. We ended up cooling our heels for an extra half hour.

We also got Bud moved from Riderwood to BrightView today. His first day there, he joined a group going out to Longhorn steak house for lunch. That’s not a bad way to start things out. Everything Bud needs is in his BrightView room. We’ll join Ed & Lynne tomorrow cleaning out The Riderwood apartment. After tomorrow, things should start getting back to normal.

I hope this finds everybody doing well.
