Playing cards

Nora & I had some friends over last night to hang out and play cards and eat and drink. This is another thing I'm going to miss. At times it seemed so surreal. Like some parts were just a dream, or part of a story and I was the only one seeing it from the outside....

Anyway, it was a good crowd although not everyone showed. I think Ryan and James were the overall winners for the night. I lost a little as did Nora.

I forgot to mention that Nora's brothers were in town, Joe, John and James. The first time they had all been together in many years. We spent time with them and Joe actually stayed with us for a couple of days. Annalisa and Jon-Gabriel loved having him over since he kept them on their toes. They always thought he was so serious until he gave them a wink.

Having John in town from Thailand made it easier to get some input from him about the whole KBR process. He and I are going to Houston on the same date. We are going to see about getting roomed together.

He also managed to change the spark plugs on the Bimmer. I am hoping that we can sell it pretty quick. I hate to part with it, but it doesn't make sense to make the payments and pay the insurance if I'm not going to be here to drive it. I love that car. If things go well, I will buy another one when I get back.

"When I get back" - something that I have started to say when looking at the future. It feels like I will be absent from the world and them come back for attendance.......

.......getting sleepy. I'm not makeing much sense now. Good night.
