Had a bit of a downer today. The family cat died. She had a good long life and her passing wasn't unexpected but it's still sad. Who's going to keep me company late at night now when my inomnia kicks in and the household is still? Oh well, she was 17 and had not been doing well lately so I guess it's not a tragedy. Just a bit sad like I said. On a happier note, my wife' birthday was today. Two of our three children were able to attend her celebration at a nice restaurant. (The third was unavoidably  detained out of town but did send a nice gift and card and called her). She refuses to allow me to divulge which birthday it is, so I will honor her request.Other than that, I am scheduled to see the pulmonologist on Monday after getting xrays. That Visit should go well. My asthma has behaved it self lately.Hope all are well,Tom
