Awake: 6:06am Temp 47 sleep 5+53 sunny overnight @ Pahrump, NV.
My brother Don calls @ 10:15am Pacific Time; we cover a number of topics: Matthew’s diabetes; Don’s (87) yr old mother-in-law coming to live with them; Don & Josie’s plans for a West Coast tandem bike trip from Vancouver, Canada to Long Beach, CA. late this summer; & other short topics. We haven’t talked since the 26th of December in PA. It was a good call.
I talk with a Sprint agent again & reveal my dilemma of not being able to log onto my online Sprint account; the young lady takes some time, checks out my past struggles & then informs me that she will have to have my account resubmitted to the security customer support that may take (2) or (3) days.
During my idle time, I have decided to casually work on the broken filter canister; I enjoy having a challenge.
Katrina calls en route to a school meeting; another person I haven’t talked with since saying bon Voyage to on January 3rd in Detroit. We have quite a chat until she arrives @ her destination; we both have more to talk about so she agreed to call me back after her meeting; sure enough, another good chat while she motors to her next destination: a dinner with a group of friends, then afterwards, joining those friends for dance class lessons. One of the girls has signed up & invited the rest of them to join her. No question about it, Katrina is enjoying Denver & all that Denver has to offer to the young & single groups & more.
My dinner: Knackwurst, chicken & turkey meat balls, green beans, whole wheat bread, leftover corn off the cob & leftover mashed potatoes & gravy.
Kathy calls @ 6:47pm Pacific Time. We talk about 45 min; mostly a wrap up of thoughts, ideas & experiences that Kathy related to me, encompassing a lot of the highlights (good or not so good) of her time spent with the Foote family. In a way, I think she was somewhat perplexed in her leaving Melissa with still of lot of unfinished organization to do. “Her bags are packed tho & she is looking forward to coming back to continue her retirement & join me” says she.
Late DVR movie: “Queen Christina” with Greta Garbo, John Gilbert, Ian Keith, Lewis Stone, etc. Probably Garbo’s best film; with a haunting performance by the radiant star as 17th-century Swedish queen who relinquishes her throne for her lover, Gilbert. Garbo & Gilbert’s love scenes together are truly memorable, as is the famous final shot. 1933. Those love scenes are more loving than most of the modern ones today, that’s for sure. You don’t want to miss this movie.
