    Since the weather has been so gloomy I decided to liven my life up a bit with another bout of diverticulosis. I just finished the last of my antibiotic and out comes the sun. I hope that is a good omen and I have seen the last of that for a while, at least until I figure I can get by with ... xx

Oh, and a dead partridge in Grimaldi Field that the dogs got into while we were walking -- blahh! There will be a Flu Clinic this Friday, tomorrow, Nov. 12 at ... xx
