Warm day at the beach--warm and windy! Santa Ana winds making themselves felt up here. Firestorms in the south!

Walk went well--had a little trouble with the heat, but did OK. Treated myself to a pumpkin ice cream on the way back. Yummy, yummy for my tummy!

Grabbed a sandwich afterwards (eat dessert first!) and then napped. Awoke as the day got warmer--been dragging around this afternoon.

Got a call from my last ex-wife. She called to offer me a place to live back in NC! It was a heartfelt offer with no strings. I was touched by her generosity. Have to think about it, but truly appreciate the offer. It gives me a cushion, a place to land. It's been one of my concerns as things unfold--where am I to live? I'd rather not be alone. I'd prefer living in some sort of community--some place with kindred souls. We shall see!

Her offer kick up my energy levels! My middle son and his family live back there in SC. Options! Options! Nice to have options! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
