Notes - 'vacation' / Ruth Ann / good sense



       Carol is doing laundry. Kim, Paul and the boys are heading to the shade of the pool. Bill called and you are meeting Jen and him for lunch at Frieda’s. Earlier Carol was up early and walked the beach but by the time you got up and out to find her she was coming in and the blast of sun about knocked you out, or so it seemed. The heat and terrible humidity are not doing your arthritis good; of this you are certain. You are waiting for the Fitbit to charge to do your exercises. The Gulf has a greenish cast today, big white fluffy clouds casually float along below blue sky – a very pleasant summer day as far as the view is concerned – a few boaters and a few bikini’s for good measure. – Amorella

       1024 hours. We are on ‘vacation’ from Ohio to say the least. I love the view any time of year; thank goodness for air conditioning, electricity and all else that backs it up. Time for exercises.

      Just before exercises you checked your email to find Jean Noble sent a sad message, her cousin-in-law, Ruth Ann Bernard-Noble, wife of Lester, died last night in an automobile accident, falling asleep at the wheel before she hit a semi truck. You are in shock. – Amorella

      I feel quite sad for Jean and for Ruth Ann's daughter. 

       1523 hours. After lunch Bill, Jen and the others went to the pool, where they still are. I took a nap and feel somewhat better. The Gulf is still green tinted with some whitecaps. It is far too hot for me. I have forgotten how summer Florida can be. I am glad I am not going to Jamaica in a month.

       1629 hours. Kim and Paul went to Target. You and Carol are with Owen and Brennan. The boys are both sitting next to each other on the couch, each playing his own iPad Star Wars game – part of the fun of being a kid in 2016. It is so good to be here with family; I much appreciate the added time.

       Kim got you a new book for Father’s Day, Elon Musk: Tesla, Space X, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future by Ashlee Vance and you are into the second chapter. – Amorella

       2254 hours. I like the bio so far; looks like it will be a good read. I enjoyed Walter Isaacson’s Steve Jobs, which Kim also gave me a couple of years ago. Kim picked another interesting man of the times for this year. I like the can do positive attitudes, plus I agree with Musk, we have to colonize Mars. We have to have some human beings off this planet before we accidently or otherwise discover a way to destroy our species altogether. It just makes good sense.
