1. Today was my 70th birthday and I got to spend it just the way I wanted to.
Christy had an earlier than usual physical therapy session this morning and I drove her out to Smelterville and worked out in the Fitness Center during her session.
We then piled back into Christy's rig and blasted over to Kootenai Orthopedic Clinic in Post Falls where Christy had a post-surgery check up. It was a stellar visit: in every way, Christy's knee looks great and she's healing and recovering splendidly.
2. Back in Kellogg, I dashed into Yoke's and got a prescription filled for Christy, came home, leapt into the Sube, and screamed out to Kingston and piled into Ed's car. We picked up Jake in Rose Lake and blasted on down to the CdA Casino to spin some reels. I had a lot of fun. I won some games, lost others, as is to be expected.
Later on, the three of us met in the casino's Red Tail Bar and Grill. I was elated! Red Tail had Deschutes annual winter beer, Jubelale, on tap. I hadn't drunk one of these great ales for years and it was awesome.
3. Back home, I sat down to the perfect dinner Debbie prepared: chuck roast beef stroganoff over rice and a serving of canned green beans cooked with bacon. It was just what I wanted for dinner on my birthday and it made me very happy.
After a day of nearly non-stop activity, I relaxed for a while and before long hit the hay, having had a full and satisfying, simple and various, 70th birthday.
