Thursday
First things first: A heartfelt “Thank you” to all for your well-wishes. It’s always good to know that you have a group of friends supporting you when the horizon grows dark.

Thank you, again.

Today wasn’t bad, on the whole. I kept my head (mostly) in my work. Having something on which I could focus helped a bit. And, at the end of the day, I was satisfied with what I had accomplished.

After work, and I met , her father and a couple of their friends for dinner at Tucci’s at Larryland South. Good dinner. Good company. Good conversation.

Following that, we came home, dropped off a car and met , and Spydr for coffee (even though I had hot chocolate). More good company. More good conversation. And, jazz. Ahhh, sweet jazz. Naturally, there was randomness. It was just the right ending for the day.
