Went to colorado springs late on Friday and drove back yesterday-Tracy's Mom needed T to see her Dad and assess whether he's getting senile since his two heart surgeies a few months ago. He seems a little confused but had a good conversation with him. His father had alzheimer's and Gail a little paranoid-think he just needs to start doing crossword or something-he's always golfed and skiied and has been bedridden lots lately. He's 74 and Gail's 70 and still teaching coms at PPCC-retired from CU in Denver. I'm exhausted; quick road trips used to be great fun for me, now they're tiring!:)

Fringe benefit-ate very sparingly all weekend and got a renewed sense of what ageing does to one-I'd like to be able to live until I die, instead of a long slow decline or post-stroke nursing home like my Mom. T wants to move to Co as soon as I finish school to help/spend time with her Mom. I hate traffic, cold, and not being able to see a far horizon line, but other than that I'm cool with it! Eating in Colo might be more controlled because the last time I lived there I was so much healthier-Lubbock has been a place of hopeless depression for so many of our years here. The memories don't support new beginnings.
