Meeting in Denver

Yesterday, Jack and I met athenais who was making a weekend trip to Denver. We met at the coffee bar at the Tattered Cover, but decided it was too crowded for easy conversation and adjourned to a nearby pub. Jack and I first met athenais at a party in Maryland, and some time was devoted to figuring out where exactly that was. It was over two decades ago, so fuzziness on the details can be excused. We had the server take several photos of our groups, which included the friends with whom athenais was staying, but only this one by koroshiya turned out well.

Flu shots

I took my mother to get her flu shot yesterday at the Senior Health Center she uses. We had not planned to do so, but she heard about the flu shot shortage and wanted to make sure she got it. The line was long, but moved quickly and she was done in about thirty minutes.

I usually get one each year, but may not this year since I am not in one of the high risk groups. I started getting them after we moved to Colorado. I was sick so much my first year here that I wanted to do everything I could to minimize getting ill.
