The maids came today at 8:30 which meant that I had to wake up at 7:30 this morning which actually was the middle of the night as far as I'm concerned. We drove to down town and had a breakfast at Bernardo's, cars still had their headlights on. It was very good but we both got a little sick to our stomach as we are such healthy vegaterian eaters and very seldom do we have rich foods. My buddy Jennifer was there and we all had a nice visit. She and I worked together for a few years a few years back, work, how did I ever manage that!. Next it was off to Peet's for coffee and then pickup my truck at the repair shop. I went home and I paid bills and set up auto-pays on several accounts, not an easy chore. I have sponsored an orphan in Ethiopia and I'm researching endowing a Rawandan orphan with a 4 year college scholarship. There is so much to do and so many people to help. Tomorrow I'm off on the train to SF for a few days and then Magda will drive down and join me on Friday. Sx's are mild today and all is well and bye for now.
