Mrs. MacNessa is doing quite well, thanks. She's losing weight and wearing clothes she hasn't been able to wear in many a moon.

Thank you.

I hear helicopters just about every day and will often walk out to my porch to see what they are. If they are close I will take a photo of them.

I live in the Florida Panhandle, not that far from Ft. Rucker but I never see that particular type.

Needless to say, Kathy, it’s been an interesting winter. We’re lucky here. Those around us, not so much.

I have to get up at 0-dark-30 to travel to the VA hospital 130 miles away to get some standard annual tests.

The VA does reimburse travel expenses so there's that.

Hitting the sack, ladies, take care.
