Got an interesting email from a man in Holland
No, it did not ask me to help him collect several million dollars for which I would receive a million just for sending my bank info... This is someone who contacted me some months ago regarding a watch made by Helbros that used a time system for use on the moon. My dad created the time system, mostly just for fun, and Helbros made the watch for it, and offered it in the Neimann Marcus Christmas Catalog in the late 70s. He has found the watch offered on ebay, and sent me a link. Once I tracked it...

I didn't see my Mom...
She has been feeling so poorly, in constant pain, and was just not up for a visit. I couldn't get in touch with her all that day I was driving up that way, and dawdled in the area, but didn't hear anything back until the next morning when I was well into Wyoming. My sister called then, and let me know Mom had been at the doctor. She has lost her sense of balance, and falls sometimes. She has fallen several times in the past couple of months, and is in constant pain. But like Some People We Know,...

Tomorrow I head home...
Charlie and I will meet again after his morning class, have lunch at a great little place called The Peak Grill, and then I will be on my way. Adjustment time... going solo again.

She has been having a rough time with her health, and of course it has been a hard year for her since my dad died. She moved last March, too--always a big stress. I'm never sure if my...

Long Haul, Short Break...
Charlie is delighted to be back in Colorado Springs, and is moving his gear into his dorm room even now, as I sit in a (relatively) posh motel, one that has wifi, and all the necessaries... I'll be here a couple of nights, until he gets all his moving and shopping accomplished. His classes start Tuesday. (Clever lad, none of his classes meet on Monday!) I'll give the travel news in my Travelblogue--this is about just being plumb wore out from driving and car-camping, which is to say, sleeping...

Last day... or so
I've been blogging intensely this past month, trying to see if I can make Blogit break even. Gonna get close this month, I think... But what a lot of energy goes into making $20! Good thing this is so much more rewarding in so many other ways! Anyway, tomorrow we are heading out, Charlie and me, for Colorado. We haven't hardly begun packing, and don't know what route we are taking yet. The only fer-sher is that we need to have him at his school in time for classes Aug 25th. We need to get a...
