It’s about 4:30 PM. This time next week I should be sitting and waiting at the airport for my 6:15 PM flight to Chicago. Arriving about 12 clock hours and 8 real hours later.

After I sat down for dinner last night, I looked up and was really glad that I had a book to read! It is hard to unsee that!
Shipped my wetsuit and mask home today. I think the fins can go home in my suitcase. Or I can just leave them here. And get a new pair next year. Realistically, how many more years do I have to swim out in the ocean? How many more years do I have to do anything? Not many. But, that’s no reason to stop doing. Remember, Carlton played (and won) singles tennis a couple of hours before he died.
Tomorrow morning will be “Clean the Apartment” drill. The owners are coming over in the afternoon to talkstory. I want the joint to look like I took care of it. In case I want it next year. There are cheaper units in the building, and there are units with better views. This unit has A/C and a washer and dryer. For longer stays washer/dryer is really nice. And, A/C is good for sleeping. There is a dishwasher as well. I didn’t use it. And, I sure didn’t stress the stove too much. The microwave and coffee pot. Well, that’s another story.
