A quick post

Today was Mother's Day, of course. Everybody knows that. I called my Mom, who is 86, and happens at the moment to be in the hospital. Her spirits seem good, and she is talking about going home tomorrow.

Then we headed into Roanoke to take my wife's mother out to lunch. It was a beautiful day, and it was wonderful to be out and about. It is quite extraordinary what a few simple things mean when so much that most of us take for granted are taken away.
