But what other activities have occupied my time? Well, Frank and Rachel made a return visit, leaving Jan 2. Or, to be more precise, they were scheduled to leave Jan 2 but actually left Jan 3 because they missed their flight. Why did they miss their flight? Good question. I had better not go into it too deeply or I will get upset. The good news is that we used the extra day to make a quick trip to JetBlue Park, spring training home of the Boston Red Sox. Both Rachel (who knows more sports trivia than I do) and Frank liked that. Frank made a goof photo as he was capturing the field on his camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What else? Well, quite a few things:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- I scanned all of my fathers WW II letters to my mother. They aren’t particularly interesting as historical documents, but they provide some insights into my father’s personal history and the early marriage to my mother. They are worth keeping and it is a lot easier keeping a thumb drive than a large box full of huge D-ring binders.<\/li>
- I ordered new hubcaps for the Toyota (Frank popped one on a pothole while he was visiting) and got new wipers (because he complained that he couldn’t see in the rain).<\/li>
- I did some end-of-year accounting of the budget.<\/li>
- I delivered 3 more boxes of donations to Goodwill<\/li>
- I got my softball team organized (yes, I am a manager this year) and played 2 games<\/li>
- I spent a lot of time preparing the 2020 blog booklet. It was sent to the printer today. Assuming the proof is acceptable, I will post a link to it soon.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
None of that is very exciting but it is all pretty important. So I can say that the first 5% of 2021 has been fairly productive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is now January 18, which means we are about 5% of the way through 2021 and I have not posted to the blog. Why? Because there hasn’t been much of interest to report. Rusty and I hang out every day. He gets his 3 walks per day. I get my 3 meal per day … Continue reading
