Hy’s in Vietnam this week. Don’t ask me why.
Me, I’m driving again—in my BMW Z4. Ricky, as usual, bought Rae a new car for her birthday, and she gave me a great price on her old one. My beloved old MG went to a collector who restores vintage cars. Next week I start flying, with Hy along as the requisite instructor. By September I’ll have my FAA check ride and my license will be reinstated. And next weekend, we’ll be going to the city animal shelter to interview cats.
My family, of course, are all nipping at my heels. Ma is less frantic since Melvin’s new round of treatments is working. I’ve agreed to Hy and me attending a big Labor Day weekend gathering at Charlene and Vic’s new spread above Santa Barbara. At least they’ve promised us the guest house with its own little swimming pool.
Life is… well, life. It goes on. And so do I.
As always, thanks to Bill, my inspiration and first editor,
and to Sharon McCone, who sits on my shoulder
and tells me what to write.
