A Safe Place

On Tuesdays I’ve been missing my good friend Dave who’s laid up waiting for surgery. Instead, I was an ESL classroom assistant then a one-on-one tutor. People have tough lives, but their great attitudes and desire to learn are inspiring.

Nothing New
Cycled over to the university for a CT scan and a PET/Bone scan. The whole process takes about four hours and I do this every two months for the study. Within a few hours, reports for both scans popped up in my phone app, with nothing new to report, which is good.

Piece of a 747

Walked over to Zen Box Izakaya to pick up the charge card I’d left behind last Saturday, so of course we had to have ramen. I’d canceled the card, but wanted to hold onto it. It includes a layer of aluminum from a Northwest Airlines/Delta 747. I like to think I flew on it to Japan.
