When I just typed Day 361, I realized we have only four days left until the New Year. 2023, here we come!
Before I launch into today, I need to make one correction to yesterday’s log and one addition. The correction is that I wrote that Revels included a piece on the Spanish-American War. What I intended to say was the Mexican American War. The addition is that after the episode of Jonah being stuck in a dark elevator for an hour at the Hampton Inn, at 12:15 am things got even wilder as a fire alarm went off in the hotel. Jed said it was probably someone smoking in the hallway, but whatever, it was another experience they could have done without. I doubt that they will want to stay in a hotel again for quite some time.
My day consisted of going to Heather and Jed’s to feed the cats
and put a laundry in to wash, coming home to walk with Shadow and watch a Great Blue Heron and a wedge of swans flying over us,
and then coming inside to work on a presentation for my Public Policy Group that meets in two weeks. I’m still trying work on the title or the big idea we will tackle. Generally, it will cover how food choices we make everyday can affect the climate. Then I went back outside to play ball with Shadow. We went down by the dock and observed the ice that forming close to shore.
But I think that is short-lived. The weather forecast is for warmer weather for the remainder of the week.
I wish I had a photo to share, but I have only a video that is too long to post. Tonight my sister’s assistant living facility had a party for the residents and invited family. Patsy’s daughter Janet changed her Southwest flight back to Nashville (and lucky she did with their issues yesterday and today) to attend, her son-in-law Bill, and our nephew Tommy attended with her. There was live music and Tommy got Patsy on the dance floor for a solo performance. It was just wonderful to see her having such a wonderful time. Only Tommy could have done this. Watching the video made my heart sing with joy.
