Are weekends made for memories???

An article in the Naples paper triggered some memories
I think it was the fall of 1962 and our Sargent Central band went to march in the homecoming parade in Ellendale ND.  It could have been 1961 but Dave was still in school and I do not think he was there.  I think I was a sophomore at the time.  John and Janet were there but I can not remember if they lived there or if they had come for the weekend.  John asked me if I would like to drive around in their corvair.  Oh my I thought I was king of the hill and one hot guy.  The car was not like this but perhaps a bit older, I am not sure.  Anyway it was a grand day for me.  Not sure but I thought my friends were jealous.  No girl friend at the time so maybe it was a sole ride, not sure again!!!
One day closer to my Monday Dr. appt to see IF I can enjoy more freedom with this leg.  As I get closer I tend to remember the Dr. words when he said the rehab was long and difficuilt.  I think my leg has lost some muscle as my brace now irritates my leg, especially at night.  Now I am thinking if there is something else I can complain about---better get my head on straight!
A friend who taught at Trinity School in the Twin Cities died yesterday.  He had been battling cancer for less than a year and just Thursday there was a hotline went out.  He was a canidate for a Potune thing which is pretty much a electrical hat on the head which is supposed to help brain cancer.  A day later he died while in the U of Minnesota hospital.  A wonderful guy and a really great teacher.  He will be missed.  Brother-in-law Dale's funeral is today.  I am sure it will be a big event.  I am always surprised at how often a person is sick and in the end days they go so quickly.
Another super weather day in Naples.  As I write it is in the 60s but it is supposed to reach 80 by mid day.
As I reread my writing I see way too many "I think".  Is that a sign of old age?
I already cleaned the kitchen along with my FP cup that Terry bought me at the end of the Alaskan Highway.  I mention I cleaned the kitchen because for the last several weeks this leg has made it difficult to do that and Terry has carried the work load but I decided this morning things need to change.
On to CVS to run an errand.
