I know many of you are used to spending winters in warm places. As the years have gone by, many of my friends and colleagues go to Florida or Arizona or Texas for a few months during these miserable cold Michigan winters.
Last year, I retired in order to spend more than a weekend at my daughter's wedding in Boston. We ended up doing a nice motor trip to the East Coast in October. We then took a month off (February, to be exact) and rented a place in the Palm Desert area (Florida was too expensive). Anyway, we loved that.
So, this time I might be doing radiation with Dr. King in Santa Monica. Our daughter and her husband live in Santa Monica. I am due to visit with Dr. Lam. He is in Marina del Rey, very near Santa Monica. Hmmmm... I think you all can read the tea leaves. So, once again, we found what appears to be a nice place...and we booked it for February. We plan to stay two weeks into March and go...wherever the h#ll we want! Our place is within walking distance to both the radiation place and our daughter's place. In fact, we probably won;t need a car during our February stay (UBER time!).
Anyway, we are looking forward to it.
Tall Allen -- maybe we can get together again.
John from Palm Desert area -- maybe we can do lunch at some point (someplace other than the casino this time!)
Incidentally, I did go back to work this semester. It's not work -- it's FUN! I will re-retire after this semester and I might go back next Fall if I am still so inclined (very likely!)
