Random things......

I just spent my kicker check! Bought myself an airline ticket to Baltimore, MD.
Got great airfaire, so there's even enough left to buy groceries. This is a very good thing.
This will truly be my first traveling experience solo. My friend in Baltimore will be working most of the time, so I will be left to my own devices. I finally confessed to her I was a little nervous about it. She, being the good friend she is, put me at ease. For one, she told me it was about damn time I traveled alone and second, she gave me the rundown on the train to DC for daytrips. 7.00 and they run every hour! I can makde daytrips to museums etc and come back to her house in the evening. She is going to take me to NYC on one of the weekends. It would appear traveling alone can be a rewarding thing. She shared some of her experiences and tips for traveling solo. It feels so Mary Tyler Moore like.
I will leave in early March for 10 days. Seems along ways off......

I just found out my friend Edie is going in for another brain surgery on Tuesday. One of her tumors is not shrinking and is causing trouble and must be removed. She has has been having seizures.
I just went to Van Halen with her and I remember thinking how happy I was to be there with her and knowing that any time spent with her was a gift. I just know that eventually her body will lose the battle. I know one should not think like that, but it is reality. I will forever remember dancing with her on one side of me and my son on the other in the Rose Garden and I feel fortunate to have been there.
I don't know if the Universe is going to see her through this one or not, but I pray for a Christmas Miracle for her......
