It was a week of many appointments, from doctors to car maintenance. We have two more doctor’s appointments next week. After that, things should slow down a bit.

The big activity was a concert with snacks, deserts, and wine. A pianist played favorites from Broadway. It’s not my favorite music, but many people were having a really great time. It’s contagious.

Danita is still getting nothing from OPM. It’s frustrating that she can’t close Bud’s estate. She finally contacted Senator Sarbanes’s office to see if they could shake the tree. Unfortunately, she contacted the office just about the same time he announced he will not run for reelection. Even Danita is getting impatient.

We’ve had some wonderful weather. I’m taking advantage of the easy riding. Early this week I took a mostly-trail ride. There were so many leaves down that there were places where I had to guess where the trail goes. In one spot the leaves were so high that pieces got caught up in my chain. I reached an open area where the trail was clear, only to have the wind pick up while I was there. I was “treated” to a shower of leaves and pine needles. It’s all part of the adventure.

That’s it for this week. I hope this finds everybody doing well.
