Today we had a quiet day.  We began by making a dent in the gift from Russ & Daughters.  Delicious!  At noon we made the decision to weather the weather and go to a reading at The Mint with Marjorie.  David was complaining about going out in the rain, but sometimes you just have to get wet.

After our call with Alex, Claire and Theo, we headed out.  The call, was as always, great.  Talked a lot about their possible future adventure – more details when available, don’t want to jinx it.  We got a car to the theater, and David complained about the rain, and didn’t understand why we were going.  Once there, we saw two one act plays by Irish playwright, Teresa Deevy.  Short, but interesting plays.  A talkback at the end with a professor from Ireland who is an expert on Teresa Deevy.  Interesting insights on her life and writing.  Thanks to Marjorie who arranged tickets, and got us out on a wet and dreary afternoon.

We headed back, and had a drive we have had before.  In the past few days, we have had a couple of repeat Uber drivers.  Nice to see familiar faces!  Once home, David was ready for a nap, and I joined him.  When I woke up, he had gotten up and was sitting in the living room.  Then I started dinner, and at one point I looked up, and David was gone.  He went to the bathroom.  It is nice to see that I am now not even noticing when he moves around the apartment.  Also, more words.  With Susan Willens yesterday, he said “grade” to find out what grade her grand-daughter was in at Burke.  He is also stringing words together, which is great, but sometimes in the wrong order, making him sound a bit like Yoda. We’ll take it though.

Then, to bed and we have started listening to The Pickwick Papers which is fun and funny.  Read the blog as well, and then the 69th object – Sculpture of Huastec Goddess.
