A day of rest - day 11


I was hoping to visit Fort Jackson today, which is why I scheduled this non-travel day, apparently driving a wheelchair all this distance wasn’t enough to rate a tour of the base, or some government worker wanted me to believe. The day wasn’t a total loss though as we had the opportunity to meet some people staying at the hotel whom we educated about this wonderful disease called ALS. THEN, we got a phone call from Lou Kobbs saying he was in the area and wanted to come visit. We sat out by the pool and talked for hours…I EVEN missed a Red Sox game…about ALS, politics, religion and my favorite…the Yankees…NOT. Before he left he took some pictures and promised to send them to me.

I am starting to feel the effects of being out in the rain…I will keep y’all posted.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEETIE, I’M SORRY WE ARE NOT THERE TO CELEBRATE IT WITH YOU…I’LL MAKE UP FOR IT WHEN YOU GET TO DC. (For those of you who don’t know, my daughter turned 15 today.)
