Chet – Rodger has escaped!
Chet DID return from the hospital yesterday, with new awareness of the “tender” condition of his post-surgery body. Saying, “No, I understand my big drinking days are over!” …………….he settled into taking pills, eating a bit, and adjusting to post-surgery behavior…………. with THAT working well, so far, RODGER ESCAPED while he had the chance!
He spent the night in Ripon with Aunt Paula……….so I’m sure they had a fine time together………. “shopping” . . . . (oh, oh!!), eating, laughing . . . something Rodger needed!
This morning he departs via/ US 101 up the coast and will probably stay in Ashland, OR or environs this evening.
ME? I pick up our friend Bill H. at the airport this pm….and we’ll sit and torture Mac until Rodg gets in tomorrow mid-day or so. Perhaps Bill and I will have to make a batch of jam ………..or tour somewhere close by. He’ll have lots of tales to tell as a long-time resident of Manhattan WHO, just moved into the Greenwich Village……..
Looking forward to seeing Bill, AND………..getting Rodger back home!

Home made jam – nothing like it!
That is sweet you miss Roger. I hope he comes home safe and sound too.
Glad to hear Chet is home and Rodger is soon to be if not already! (I’m a little behind on commenting this week so Rodger might be back already).
