Hi, George.
Today is the 6-week anniversary of my relocation to South Cackalacky! So far, so good.Nothing newsworthy to report, happily. Things are really relaxed and relaxing, and I cannot get quite enough of that.I am certain that will catch up to me eventually, and I'll grow restless. For the time, being, however, I'm not interested in committing myself to a volunteer project.I now have three - count 'em, three -- Thanksgiving meals to look forward to. The first is Tuesday at Noon. It's a "seniors lunch" for regulars at 3td Generation. Completely free.The second is Nov. 12th at my mother's church.And the third is Thanksgiving Day at my Cousin Debra's.How jolly. A great lead-in to the holiday season.
As I still haven't received The Cruicible, I would assume my last CD package has reached an end. Is there a way to find out, BK?
I have made my S'mores Rice Krispie Treats. I put Golden Grahams with Rice Krispies, added cocoa powder to the marshmallow mix. Then I put chocolate on top and sprinkled more marshmallows on top. Then I popped it under the broiler to get the marshmallows toasty. I have to let it sit for a while, I guess, before I can actually try it. The chocolate melted a little under the broiler.
It's good to see Ron posting again. I've known several people--all of them men--who looked forward to retirement, only to feel adequately rested after six months to a year and ready to go back to work. Knowing that you don't have to work can make a big difference. Of course, some choose to keep relaxing. I think a lot depends on one's health and what second career options are available.
And then I need to be at my parents' house by 6:15 or so. For my mom's birthday in June, I bought tickets for her and me to go to the Andre Rieu concert at the Tacoma Dime tonight. She loves watching him on PBS, so I thought that she'd like to see him live. She was pretty surprised and is really looking forward to the concert.I'll have a report when I get back!

BK, I haven't received my copy of The Crucible, either. I know that Indiegogo campaigners had to opt-in. Did you get my e-mails? I think I originally sent my opt-in e-mail from the wrong e-mail address, but I did send a correction e-mail. Can you let me know if you got that?
