Good afternoon, everyone! Picking Denise up from National tonight. She had a good trip and has her folks all set up for a new long term care facility in Omaha near her sister Dynell. We will all go out to complete the move in Mid February. I was nominated as the moving truck driver! Proud to do it, of course. Tough decisions we have to make (if we are lucky to have our folks around that long).
Jason and I enjoyed batching it for a few days. We went to Kobe last night and took a couple pounds of sushi, sashimi, real ramen, and other goodies off their hands.
Appreciate your comments on the shutdown, Jack. There are two competing bills up for a vote in the Senate tomorrow. Let's see what happens. Been keeping in touch with Tia and the rest of my team via personal cell to ensure they are OK. (They are). But not all folks are old and well-established as I am. I do worry about the younger feds. We will have lost an entire month of work, and believe me, we already had a very packed year planned out. Of course, three weeks after we are back, folks will be asking why certain things weren't done as originally planned!
Have a great day, everyone! bp
