1. The miracle to me -- and many others -- was that the secret never got out to Nancy, despite this party being planned and publicized starting five months ago!
But, Nancy Hanson and her daughter arrived at the Elks Lodge around 3:00 and the many people gathered there erupted with a hearty SURPRISE! and Nancy had to step outside, gather herself, and walk back in as the celebration got underway in full force.
It was a great social occasion. For those of us from the KHS Class of '72, it was a welcome opportunity to see one another.
Partiers dove into the food laid out on tables near the kitchen and everyone had fun visiting and just feeling the good vibes of celebrating Nancy's 70th birthday.
2. I wandered across the street to The Lounge and yakked with Cas for a while and before long Jake, Carol Lee, Tim, and Cindy strolled in we all shot the breeze at a table and after a while Ed and Nancy and an entourage of family and friends arrived, sat at another table, and the post-party party was on.
The celebration vibes continued to build!
3. Earlier in the day, I read another chapter of The Mosquito and I'll just say that thanks to microbiologists like Louis Pasteur, the development of the microscope, and other advances in science in the 19th century, scientists discovered that malaria and yellow fever were caused not by swamp air, but were transmitted by certain species of the mosquito.
This was a huge breakthrough.
