My Sometimes-Long-Winded Thoughts

 

 

A nice fall day.

I had a nice chat with the former superintendent who got me into administration. He is retired in Santa Clara, NM pueblo. Bob is doing well as his wife, Dorothy. His daughter, Jackie, who taught at TCBS, has retired and is now a grandma too. Jackie tried for years to get to the BIA school in Santa Clara. I’m sure she did very well as she was an outstanding teacher. So glad we reconnected through Facebook/Messenger.

I meet with my blood doctor this afternoon to work out a plan for my condition. I’m hoping I can not have to drive to Prescott Valley for my ultrasound phlebotomy too many times. And something I can do to prevent the production of too many red blood cells. Hoping.

The Parkland shooter has pleaded guilty to killing 17 high school students back in 2018. Finally!

I had a great conversation with my brother this morning. Christmas will be in Mexico, so I need to find some good flights. Can’t wait.
