woke up fairly early in the morning. pretty well rested.

went down for breakfast in the hotel

breakfast

sausage
scrambled eggs
potatoes
oatmeal
coffee
apple juice

ok. mostly not great.

logged onto the computer and did some blog entries.

drove karen's rental car to mommy's party. on the way we had to return a wheelchair and exchange it for a different one. started to snow on the way over.

good crowd at the restaurant.

lunch

tuna sandwich
tater salad
slaw
iced tea
muffins

mostly good. bad tater salad.

about 45 people at the party. the people i recognized were:

mommy's neighbor from near iron gate, susan, glenn, scott, amanda, mary, karen, claire, matthew, mrs. fahey, ken turner, karrie (karen's friend), patty turner. jim gould came over near the end. we chatted for a while. he got to say hi to all the folks he knows.

dessert

birthday cake

i drove every body back over to the hotel and sat with mommy and glenn for a while. got directions to jim's house and went over around 4:00. very modern apartment complex. mix of residential and commercial. all new. i think it is called city center. big apartment. jim said it's about $1400 per month. richard came over as well. have seen jim or richard since about 1980 or so. it was nice to have a chance to talk. jim seems to  have been transformed in some ways by his experience with cancer.

dinner

pizza (2 sl)
pepsi

we watched some tv and talk. i left at around 8:00. we had a good time. he has a great cat. both guys seem quite well.

snowing on the way home.

stopped in mommy's room when i got back with mommy, karen, and glenn. watched a little tv, had some chocolate.

we found an odd note that had been slipped under the door. meet me in the bar at 11:00 was the basic message. we though it must have been slipped under the wrong door. kind of funny.
