Wednesday night

No writing for some time - sorry.

Today Ella and I were able to go to the park - where we saw the heron, back after quite an absence - because I went into work late. I had an appointment with Dr. M, my regular check up. It went well. I told him - and it is true - that I feel great. I actually think over the last couple of months my ... I guess ... endurance ... has improved. The indication of it is that I do not feel the need to be in bed EVERY night by 8:30 or 9:00. I have actually stayed up until 10:00 and felt fine the next day. Imagine that. Anyway, another milestone. No more doctor appointments until October. The next thing is the October CT scan, followed by Dr. R. Then Dr. M again on December 1st.

Over the weekend, Ella and I made it to the park only one day - but we saw the muskrat, also absent for quite some time. It made me ask a question: Where did the muskrat in this small pond in an urban park come from? I mean the ducks, the Canada geese, the heron - they all fly in. Even the fox - who I haven't seen yet this year - presumably slinks from tree-lined property to tree-lined property to the park. But how does a MUSKRAT cross a city and get to the park? I know they "stock" ponds with fish sometimes. Is it possible they stocked this one with a muskrat?

That's my question for the day.

Yesterday was one of the best days of my life. Why? I received my first ever letter from my grandson. Very very very cool. Perhaps I'll scan it at work and post it here.

Peace.
