Awake: 5:56am Temp 62 sleep 6+13 rain, heavy at times overnight @ Nicktown.

K & I attend 8:00am Mass & then join the KK meeting for (1.3) hrs; afterward, we exercise for (1.3) hrs.

After breakfast, I spend a little time drilling (2) small holes in a piece of Brio train track to, later, insert stiff wire with epoxy to give this wooden track piece more support.


Bro Don calls: he invites us to join him & his wife Josie for a fish dinner @ the Cresson Springs Family Restaurant; we have no plans for the evening & agree to the 5:00pm meet @ their home. He also mentioned that they like to play Pinochle & would we be interested in playing after dinner. I ask Kathy about this idea & she’s all for it; after all, no cooking for her & no dish cleanup for me.

Pinochle is a new game for me; Kathy hasn’t played since college. Before we leave, she brings the rules & method of play up on the computer & I read all about it; she also prints out a list of the tricks that count for meld & the points.

K & I have not been to this restaurant before but Don & Josie have frequented it monthly; and, for the 1st time in many months, we each had our own dish. Kathy had battered fried fish with baked potato & salad & I had a tuna steak with veggies & salad. It was a good meal; I wouldn’t hesitate to visit a few more times.

Back @ the Don & Josie house, we prepare for the Pinochle game; a little wine, beer & other drinks for the ladies + a few snacks. It’s guys against the girls…. I must admit, that with my brother’s help & a little of my Cinch playing experience from years ago, this game was a lot less awkward for me though I was slow to catch up with all those rules & regulations. We both look forward to playing again.

K & I did some quick grocery shopping @ Wal-Mart in Ebensburg before returning to Nicktown @ 11:30pm.
Lights out: 12:07am
