Sunday, March 29, 2026 I woke up at 4am and had to check on the No Kings rallies happening at home. I had a picture from Donna of Nancy and pictures from friend Jean. Friend Cheryl had listed some things she heard that she really liked. I liked them too. We are all connected. None

Monday, March 23, 2026 We are about to get on the plane, and it will be tomorrow when we get off, so I better post now. Visiting Japan is a top of the bucket list thing for me. I’ve always thought if I got a terminal diagnosis I’d get on a plane to Japan first,
Sunday, March 22. 2026 I forgot Carla’s birthday. Friday night I wrote March 20 and thought, “Keith’s mom’s birthday is tomorrow.” Then my brain made some lumpy sounds.
