     Al McCormick and I got out on the softball diamond and threw the ball around. 

     Dr. Bradley and her group did an amazing job restoring use to that arm and shoulder.  Plus it is in worse shape than it was three weeks ago.

     With that said, there was no zip behind any ball I threw.  But I could throw it sixty feet.

     That was good stuff.

     When I can no longer do these things that will be one of my enduring memories.

     Is that an oxymoron?  Can a man with months to live have enduring memories?

    I still remember sitting at Redgranite, watching the sunset over the softball diamond, after my last softball game there in 2019, knowing I would likely never play a game again.

     I am really itching to get my property so I can get at my books and start working on artwork again.

     I am running out of time.

     I suspect I might not see my property until as late as Friday the 20th, because so many guys came here all at once.

     On the day I came, we had three groups of guys come I for a total of thirty-eight guys.  Plus, two days later they dropped off fifteen more.

     The guys in property are swamped.
