         Warm morning.  The former teenager is rushing around to get to her program on time. I am cheered by her friendly warm greeting. We have settled back into a familiar routine.

         Finished reading HEART, A HISTORY yesterday evening.  I now know so much more about how we think our heart actually works. Most knowledge is provisional. I want to find a good book about cancer. Knowledge is power for me. I have read THE EMPEROR OF MALADIES years ago.  I am looking for something more current.

         The garbage bins are sitting quietly on the curb waiting for the lumbering noisy trucks to come. The rhythm of my week is marked by garbage days.  Before retirement my time was marked by weekends.

The marvelous Carmel Highlands baker arrives with a fresh loaf of rye bread yesterday afternoon. Such a treat. The tall man sends down some tasty left over dinner. I guess I will survive for awhile.
