Fall colors are everywhere. We have sunny skies and pleasant temperatures. In short, it’s a fine week.

Danita’s recovery is slow. She uses the steps, but limits her trips. She has discomfort in her knee. The PT folks suggested a compression knee brace/sleeve. It should be delivered later on today.

We had a neighborhood concert yesterday with light snacks and deserts. The music was Motown, with emphasis on the Temptations.

I got my COVID and flu shots at Wegman’s. They had cool kids Band-Aids with Pokemon characters. I have no idea what their names are. It was fun, even if I couldn’t show them off under my long sleeve shirts.

Every once in a while we go to a financial planning seminar. We get bona-fide invitations with no obligation to sign up for services. We get a nice free dinner. We just might learn something we don’t already know. I was sorry we attended one Thursday. The dinner was great. I had crab soup and a crab cake entre. I polished it off with half of a very rich piece of chocolate cake and half a slice of key-lime pie. The presentation was a different matter. It was centered on the idea that we might need to go to a nursing home some day. If we do, we’re likely to spend a small fortune on care. UNLESS … The scheme used some kind of a trust. We would not own our assets, be we could get the benefit of using them. If we need a nursing home, we will be eligible for a Medicaid room, practically free, because we wouldn’t own any assets. It all sounded complicated, entangled, and very shady. Who knows what would happen if their worst case scenario panned out? I’ve run across this idea a couple of times. It’s not for me. Nor would I work with lawyers that made this an important part of their practice. But the dinner really was nice.

This it for me. I hope this finds everybody doing well.
