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. |
