We had lunch with Linda and Rich yesterday. They will be on their way to Houston next week. I have scheduled Rich in for tennis next Monday and Tuesday. Linda sent a message thanking me so much. In a situation like this you need some laughs as Linda said many days she is ready to "kill him" by 8:45 in the morning. Of course NOT but Rich's condition has deteriorated rapidly and Linda will surely need help from family as they arrive in Houston. As for Rich, he is the same happy guy and I will see how he is on the tennis court Monday! Our lunch was a fun time. Linda showed us pictures of their new home in Houston and it is very nice. Actually the important part is their home is very close to several family members. We will see them one last time today as there is a going away party for them in their high rise unit. Terry will bring devil eggs as it is a pot luck.
I am pretty excited to hit the court today at 9:00. I KNOW I will be exhausted after half the match or before that but I will pace myself and play at a slower pace than I like. IF I can get on the court at least 8 or 10 times by October 23 I should be kind of ready for the season.
Terry and I stopped at the grocery store on our way home after lunch. As we exited the store there sat a typical Naples toy! A beautiful Rolls Royce was parked in the parking lot along with NORMAL cars. If Terry and I were to look for a new car today (at this point we are not) I would winch at any sticker price over $40,000. I am guessing this car left the lot with the owner forking out $350,000+! I always try to see the wheels of a Rolls Royce if we see one on the road as the "R" on the wheel cover always is upright! Pretty cool but perhaps not worth the 350,000 cost!!! I think my bank account may take a big hit just for an oil change. Google says an oil change costs upward of $650!
I did get a little work done yesterday. I hosed down the pool deck but it looks like I may need to use the power washer. I am guessing I got it 90% clean and I do not think that will do it. I still have many things out on the couch in our den so that needs to be taken care of.
I think I am going to go over to the courts early and take some time in the fitness center. Oh my my physical condition is poor at best. I know, I am 72 and should not expect to look like I am 25 BUT really when I gain a few pounds I tend to put it around my waist. Not good.
Terry's Naples Daily News started today and as always I took the sports section out and left the paper near the bedroom door. I had forgotten how pathetic the sports is. Today it was 5 pages and 3 of them were about local high school sports. It took me about 5 minutes to read what was interesting. When I ordered it I thought I ordered the Wall Street Journal too but that did not come so I must have not done that.
Enough for now. The FP is almost finished so time to dress, get on the bike and head over to the courts for some exercise.
