There’s not so much to report this week. We had a neighborhood party yesterday. We plan to attend a free concert in Catonsville this evening.

Danita’s computer has shipped and should be in Monday. That will make her pretty happy. My computer is a little smaller than hers, which means the keyboard is a little smaller. She didn’t like typing on it until I pulled out the keyboard Mark gave me. Mom agrees it’s a very good keyboard. Whatever went wrong with the computer, it must have been unusual. The computer was put on “Engineering hold” and spent time on the “escalated bench”.

Next week will be a busy one. Rick and Suzy are visiting from Texas. They’re going to pick Bud up and show up at our house Friday. They’re cooking a family dinner Saturday. Sunday, we’ll get Bud back to his place, then go to a Circle lunch at the Sochurek’s. It will be time for me to sign up for Social Security. I will start in January, the first full month when I’m 70. Add in my monthly lunch with Tony Chaprnka — how will we have time to get it all done?

I hope this finds everybody doing well.
