Kathi and I have been at home all day today. She is making
pot roast to take to her brother and his family later today. Larry was feeling
poorly yesterday and Kathi and I spent the day with him at Methodist Hospital.
They added some blood and some platelets and he is much better today and still
in remission from Leukemia. We are all working to build up his strength so he can
get a bone marrow transplant soon. Lots of protein enriched milkshakes are on
the horizon.
I like pizza from Pizza Hut. I usually get pepperoni and Italian
sausage on a thin crust pizza. Today I went to my normal Pizza Hut in Dickinson
and found it had been replaced by a real estate company. Since there was no
other Pizza Hut nearby, I chose Domino's on Highway 146 in Bacliff. The pizza
was excellent, but I will never get used to my pie being sliced into
rectangles. I am a traditionalist and my first impression of pizza was wedges.
I am sure I cannot adjust to rectangles at my age.
I was on Facebook earlier and saw my favorite sports story
of the day. All I saw was the headline, then Facebook updated my page before I
could share the headline from the original source. It said, “Belichick fires
ball boy for not deflating one of twelve footballs.” This has to be the best
sports story of super bowl month.

AJ's umbrella damaged by high wind in Austin. |
We talked to our son, AJ in Austin this morning and they had
ice on the streets. They had snow in the forecast, today, but so far, no snow.
I am including a picture he sent me of his umbrella. It was damaged in the high
wind in Austin yesterday. He uses public transportation, so the weather is more
important to him than it is to me.
Other photos are from the Appalachian Museum in Norris,
Tennessee. We were there in 2004 and recommend the site if you are ever in the
Knoxville area.
