The Spontaneity Project

[hrj]

The last we saw our intrepid heroine, she had abruptly made plane reservations to fly East for a couple of days, and sent out various emails to cover necessary bases. Collegium classes went well on Saturday, although sparsely attended. At the potluck dinner afterwards, I made arrangements for my dirty platters to go home with someone else (rather than sit in my car at the airport) and around then my adrenaline charge started to wear off, leaving me dead tired. There was ... foo at the airport, which I'll leave to cryptocosm to tell, if he chooses. But we ended up on a plane, made it to Boston in the morning, picked up our rental car, and drove to Waterville with an hour to spare to make it to Randy's performance as Herr Schultz in Cabaret.

In the evening, we had an extensive family "path forward" discussion about my parents moving into something along the lines of an assisted living facility. I think they'd pretty much made the decision already, but we tossed around alternatives and did pros and cons.

Today is various errands and projects, then a birthday dinner for my Dad. Then in the morning cryptocosm and I drive back to Boston and fly home.

Glad to hear that some collective progress is being made. It's very very tough for people who have been independent all their lives to face the idea that they may need more help now. (I could name a 90-year-old who is still resisting that....)

The story will come, but not before I'm back in Sacramento.
