1. It was a quiet day at Shoshone Medical Center. Everett did one round of physical therapy -- he'll return to a full schedule of therapies on Monday. Christy spent much of the day with Everett and things were stable again today.
2. Riley spent the day with me. When he comes over, he's on his leash. I walk him around the house on his leash for a while upon his arrival. It seems to relax him. He didn't cry or howl today nor did he seem to wonder where he was or where Christy was. In fact, for almost the entire time he stayed here, Riley either sat in the chair next to mine, relaxed, lay on the love seat, relaxed, or lay on the floor, relaxed. He also napped off and on.
3. For today's every two weeks Zoom meeting, I joined Bill and Diane for a couple of hours of rousing conversation. We all have the delay of the transfer of power from one president to the next on our minds and talked about it, extensively, along with U. S. history. We also veered into conversation about poetry. Bill and I both recently purchased the anthology, Together in a Sudden Strangeness: America's Poets Respond to the Pandemic. A generous roster of poets contributed a single (in most cases) poem to this anthology and we agreed that the variety, the quality of the poems, and the fact that many of the poets are new to us makes this anthology valuable. We also talked a bit about Tuesday's upcoming Tree House Concert. It'll be an especially great one because Bill will be performing, by the magic of a split screen, alongside Jim Page.
