HAPPY NEW YEAR 2025

5 Jan:  MEDICAL  Jon gave us a ride to the medical center for a 3-day stay for annual checkups with the cardiologist on Monday and the electrophysiologist on Wednesday.  Hilton staff delivered a microwave to the room ASAP, so we are off to walk around Rice University on their delightful gravel path stepping around and sometimes in rain puddles. 5.25 miles! Woohoo

4 Jan:  Ron Beatty: “Time is a luxury.  Why waste it in pursuit of "luxuries" that mean nothing?  Instead, enjoy experiencing the luxury of time (to do genealogy?.”   We have luxuriated until 3:30 PM.  Ron walked at 5:26.

3 Jan:  This new year Ron has taken to lying in bed for hours until his back warms up before beginning exercises.  It might not be most helpful and is certainly not productive, but he enjoys this little bit of luxury.  We had a nice walk to the lake, trail maintenance included, and drove to get groceries.  Ron finished transferring numbers from his account statements into his spreadsheets.  Next is to find all the numbers for QQQ transactions, and then we can wait for 1099s to arrive.

2 Jan:  Cynthia kicks in a New Year’s resolution to arise early, walk soon, and eat light.  Instead, she kicked that can down the road to begin the original resolution Jan. 3.  Ron went for a second walk after dark.

1 Jan. 2025:  Wishing all of our friends and family a happy, healthy, and WISE New Year.  Today’s weather is lovely.  We walked to the lake and met the three of the nicest young people who were preparing to grill a lunch.  It was great fun talking about hiking and national parks.  The young lady was named Marya.  I did not catch the names of the guys.  4.0 Miles
