Hi Sang. Good to see libraries in NYC can stay open Sunday. Gives people a chance to read.
Doing ok. Blood pressure was up but med bringing it down. Now taking like 14 different pills. Some are vitamins. Anyhoo getting out more.
That's about how many I take, and most of them are vitamins, tho not all. SOOO glad you're getting out more!!
Just finished "The Power Broker" by Robert Caro. Was sitting on my shelf for a decade. A 1100 pager about Robert Moses who built Jones Beach among many parks and highways. He was not a nice man.
Plus reading a couple other books off my shelf.
The freedom to read is essential to our democracy.

Trying. Now that I returned to library trips.
For example I took out 5 from library.

Picking that up to read is a good upper-body work-out for sure! After we read it we have used that book to press things flat,,, a task that normally takes several books to accomplish!
That is an understatement! But it is always dicey judging those from the past by today's standards... without him, the Jones Beach I grew up loving would not exist.

Glad to hear you’re TRULY beginning to enjoy your retirement!!
Corona by day, Corona by night, any old time is just alright!
If you haven’t already, check out Last Train to Paradise, about the efforts to build a railway to Key West and is what eventually became A1A. Great read.
You only have two options - havin' fun or freakin' out...
Hi Sang. Things are going well. Walking more. Able to get in and out of car. Doing PT 2x a week. Chemo still being applied. Catching up with dental and cataracts appointments after holidays. Improving on bathroom muscle and nerve activity. Quarterly PET SCAN coming up. Blood work weekly and numbers stable.
Looking forward to first Christmas not in hospital in two years. Dangerous time as illness float around.
