Yes an aching tooth. How did this happen. I remember saying.."I've never had a toothache" and feeling fortunate. Now I know why. Relentless pain. All weekend.
Took my mind off trivial stuff. I did concentrate on study of the handbook for the Technician test for the HAM radio liscensing. I plan to take the test on Friday. I may decide to wait. When I pass the test I will be able to play with some of the equipment that Wes has here at the house. It is fascinating to learn how radio waves work and the complex set of regulations in place around the world to make the waves a tool and a life enhancing "toy". Millions of folks using the paths in the AIR and doing it without traffic jams and squabble.

Nov 14, Wind and Hope
November is half gone. Just a few days ago I "celebrated" my birthday. I now have a
wonderful, compact recumbent exercycle. It is a gift from family members and Wes. So now I can keep my knees limber and supple. Today I am going to Rex Ranch to do a couple of massage appointments. This evening Wes and I plan to go to the Elks in Green Valley to DANCE. They have good live music and ballroom dancing from 7 to 9.
I am settling in to this life style. I now have time to take care of myself and all of my responsibilities and needs. Over the years I have become pretty good at putting my own stuff on the back burner. Oh yes. The wind is blowing moderately here today.
The dog and I have been out playing toss and fetch and I have watered the flowers. Beautiful pansies, they are quite resistent to cold and so they are thriving even though it gets down to the 40 nightly. I covered them when we have a 25 degree zap.

Hi, the evening of my 70th birthday. I was looking forward to it as an excuse to celebrate. Celebrate what. Survival for one thing. Several folks my age and younger have passed away.
Each of them suffered with health problems that detracted from the quality of life. One greeting I received today mentioned that I have a youthful outlook on life. Yes I know that is true. I am more willing to change and adapt than some of those around my of my age bracket
My body hurts and resists movement I insist that it move and stretch and reach. If I accepted or invited this restricted movement I would be dying each day.
