Levi is back in Albuquerque as far as I know. Our only activity of Thursday was lunch with William at the Cadillac Cafe. I don't know whether his shoes dried out in time for the flight, but he borrowed a pair of William's to go to lunch. Fortunately, I have two pairs of Crocs and several pairs of plastic sandals that will fit Niki, and can

Sounds like a good visit!

When does Niki arrive?

[eusashead]

Niki gets here Saturday at 5:20 PM. I start work on Monday, so she will have to entertain herself during the day. I hope she enjoys not working for a while, anyway.

[somewherebean]

Oh noes! You're going back to work already! Does this mean I won't get to see you if I'm only around Portland on Labor Day?

Oh, wait. Labor Day is a holiday.

Never mind.

Trip details forthcoming as soon as I have my flights.

I wonder if a cold frame would work in Colorado -- I love having fresh greens from the garden.

It seems like you should be able to extend your growing season with a cold frame; it's worth checking with local garden authorities. Do you have a yard?

This is like the one we got, only twice as big:

Maybe they were getting rid of the little ones and thus selling them cheaper, or maybe they just don't sell them over the Internet, but I couldn't find one. Anyway, it worked a lot better than the cold frame I made out of old windows. I think the material (kind of like corrugated cardboard, only plastic) retains heat better than glass does.

Wow, loads to catch up on.

Thanks again for lunch. Somewherebean is coming to PDX???

If Niki is interested, I could hang out with her for an afternoon sometime next week.

[eusashead]

She said OK to that. However, she is expecting a guest on Tuesday and I don't know how long he* will be staying - not through the weekend, however. I will give her your number.

Her ex(?)-boyfriend is coming up from LA.

Put an asterisk in front of that small print, please.

JoAnn I thought that you would like to know that George passed away in Virginia on 3 Aug from his vigilant fight with his cancer. Can you let people know about him? I will be glad to answer any questions that anyone has.

I'm so sorry. Thanks for letting me know. I know what a tough fight he had.

Was there/will there be a memorial service for George? Any charities that people can donate to in his name?

He had a funeral in Virginia on Tuesday. I was told that it was one of the best funerals they had ever been too. He was to be a senior this fall and had received a $10,000 scholarship and was looking forward to getting a real job as he liked to say. He also had a scholarship for his junior year as well. He received the highest grade point in his class last semester and was inducted into the Mathematics Honor Society. A number of his college professors talked on his behalf at his funeral. I was really proud of him and am so very sad that he had to have this happen to him. Especially when he was getting his life altogether. He was always reminding me that he had terminal cancer and I had to accept it. He was a very special son and I already miss him. He told me that he missed his old life in KC and his on-line friends, so you might want to let them all know. I will have an e-mail address for anyone who wants to write about him or read what others say.

Or anything else I or anyone else can do?
