“You are going to feel like hell if you never write the stuff that is tugging on the sleeves of your heart — your stories, visions, memories, visions and songs. Your truth, your version of things, your own voice. That is really all you have to offer us. And that’s also why you were born.”

Cruising on the River

Today our care group enjoyed a lunch cruise on the Belle of Louisville. It was a good time. The price was reasonable and the food was descent. Several in our group have good memories of the Belle of Louisville a.k.a. Avalon. Bob and Carla had their prom on the Avalon (that would have been when I was 10 years old).

I sat with Andrew Verble for a short time this evening. He continues to slowly progress. He will have surgery Monday to complete his skull reconstruction. I have such admiration for the faith and perserverance of his parents, Sid and Suzanne.

Work Week

This week I have returned to a routine of working each day. This has required change. A test for me. I think I’ve done well so far. I’m getting up earlier and have managed to get in my exercise, although reduced to take in account my hours at work. My hours 9:30a to 5:00p give me time for reading and meetings or chores.

I am enjoying my work experience at U of L. It is somewhat of a shock to enter the world of academia. Although, I worked for ACU years ago, I  had forgotten what it is like. I’m not talking bad just different. I’m learning a lot and at this point it seems that I am able to contribute.

We are going on a lunch cruise on the Belle of Louisville with our caregroup tomorrow. It is our first trip on the Belle. You’d think someone who has been in Louisville as long as we have would have been on the Belle of Louisville.

Back to Normal?

Our Dish Network was repaired today so we are back to the normal background noise of the TV. At least I will be able to go to sleep to David Letterman’s monologue.
