Gary is away

Gary left for a short trip to Orlando today. I had planned to drive him to the airport, but another colleague was on the same flight, so he got a ride with him instead. He is supposed to phone me from his hotel tonight to let me know he got there.

We have had two days of wonderful warm weather, high 70s. But tomorrow it is supposed to get cold again.

Reports from Rachel continue to be good, thank the Lord. She said Valentine's Day is a good day to be a teacher--she got several gifts from her students. She also got a dozen white roses from her little brother--now how is that for sweet??

My cousin had a single lung transplant recently, and is apparently doing pretty well. We are saddened to learn that Gary's sister has been diagnosed with a fairly rare from of cancer. All this is a reminder that life is short.

We haven't heard much from Andrew lately, but we think he is doing OK. He has had some troubles getting money transferred correctly for the vehicle SP hopes to purchase.
