Hallowe'en, such as it is. Between the way the dog reacts to activity at the door, and Marcia's hip: we turned out the front lights before dusk to keep things quiet on our front porch. It worked. Shouting kids on the sidewalks, parents curb-crawling with their cars because they're too damned lazy to walk with their kids, etc. Marcia's progress is good. At her first PT evaluation today, Andrew said she was doing great, and to be cautious not to push too hard, too fast. Note: SportsPro Physical Therapy, Marcia's go-t0 PT team for the last decade - we can…

A Marcia update: On Wednesday morning, she had her right hip replaced. The surgeon said that things went well, and that the right hip was not as far gone as the left hip had been, but that it was past time for the surgery anyway.

That was an interesting week. I went to Ohio on a one-day business trip, but got bogged down by flight delays getting out there. That didn't leave enough time to get the work done that needed doing, so I extended a day. Unexpected, but much better than a second trip Real Soon Now. And all the work got done. Yesterday evening, we had Linda and Mike over for supper, and a rousing game of Cards Against Humanity. Very much fun, thanks to the CAH team, and Walt's Cards, the vendor at Capclave that I picked up the game from at…
